sheriff says justly belong to Cmsar.
I have been at this charming place for
ebont one month, and with my family I
have enjoyed it as I never have a vacation
in my life. The location, as yon know—
or should know, If yon gave yourself a
little rest—is one of tho most charming
in the State. Splendid shade trees, un
dulating lawns, and long vistas of delight
ful promenades. Mr. Porter baa spared
neither time nor money to make these
Springs more delightfully popular than
ever.
A fine string band is in attendance
daring the season, and for the young peo
ple who delight in “the light fanteavic’’
there ia ample opportunity. The baths
ere in good condition, and the cottages as
cosy and comfortable aa the most fastid
ious could wish.
Next week will he a gala aeason at the
Chalybeate. On Monday the La Grange

—Tbe Marietta Journal of tbe 81et
July quotes Wheat in its market $1 to
•1 .10 per bushel. Corn is higher there—
$ 1.05a 1.20. The Rome papers of the
30th quote Wheat $1.00*1.15; Corn
about tbe flame. The Dalton Citizen of
tbe 80th quotes Wheat $l.00al.l0. These
quotations show a late decline in prioes.
—Gwinnett—another of tbe largest and
beat farming oonntiee in the State—reports
16,28G acres in cotton, against 17,201 last
year, and 28,727 acres in corn, against
27,600 last year. The aoreage in all the

this rate the increase of the State will bo

meet the payment of the one hundred

At this rate the general increase through

830,000.
The taxes were collected closer last

troller Goldsmith.— Atlanta Nem.

BKECHXB PRIPABINO Hia
WHAT HE BATS.
New Yobk, July 81.—The Brooklyn
Union aaya that e reporter, oho ie inti
mate with Beecher, called at bia residence
at tbe heights, and in e conversation of a
confidential ebaraoter Beecher intimated
that hia friends might rely on his disere,
tiou and trntb. It was enough for the
present that he had declared Tilton’s
charges false. He was prepared to admit
that hie aky was not aa clear as it ooght
to be. There were hazy clouds in the ho
rizon, and these darkened slightly toward
the zenith ; but the aun of troth would,
in its own good time, burst forth and dia-
sipate them. He was preparing hia refu
tation of all the charges against him, and
he felt strong in hia own heart that he
had done no wrong to any one. He might
have been inoonaiderate, even indiaoreet;
that when hia story had been told—when
his plain, nnvaruisbed tale had been pre
pared and given to tbe public—he would
calmly await what il, and more particular
ly his true friends, had to say, and by it
he was quite prepared to aland or fall.
He felt hiotsolf inuooent of any Intention
to wrong any one, and with that feeling
ever present in bis heart, be was prepared
to oome boldly before tbe world and
battle down an army of soandal-mongera.
WHAT BKEOHEB WILL CONFESS.
The New York Oraphic reports
the following among the ontlinee of
Beecher's defense, as ascertained from
hie friends :
Mr. Beeoher will acknowledge that
sinoe the beginning of hia miniatry he
has been beeet by letters addressed to
him from women ezpreaaing great per.
eonel adoration of him as a man and as a
minister, and that communications of
thia nature are constantly reoeived by
every noted man in the community, es
pecially by elergymau, poets and actors.
He will confess that both ha and Mra.
Tilton were very emotional, given to ex
aggeration in sentiment, end that tbe
correspondence between them was not
whet should have existed between a pot*
tor and a lady— that lady tbe wife of his
friend; but the peculiarity of tbe ease
was that Mrs. Tilton complained bitterly
of her husband's eelf-snfilcienoy, want of
kindness to her and possible infidelities,
and she looked up to Mr. Beecher to give
ber that affection and sympathy which ehe
failed to find at home.
Mr. Beecher will aoknowledge that
he toyed with the temptation; that he
allowed kindnesses end expressions of
•ympatbetio tenderness by Mrs. Tilton,
and that be reeiproeated them to a great
degree, so much so that, while not eotnal-
ly guilty of any wrong to Theodore Til
ton, he so far compromised himself and
tbe lady as to render necessary—aa it ap
peared to his mind—the letters which he
subsequently wrote to Mr. Moulton and
Mr. Tilton, humbling himself before tbe
Utter as before God, for hia extravagant
demonstrations of affection for tbe wife of
hie friend.
Hence he will declare that while he was
gnilty of indecorum, gnilty, perhaps, of
leading a wile to love him more than her
husband, guilty possibly in tha depth of
his sympathy for her and in ailowiug hie
impulsive nature tu lesd him away, he
will deny any criminality. He will insist
that hia relations with Mra. Tilton were
no more intimate or blamable than the
religious flirtation with tbe priest indulged
in by “Oatberine Gaunt," tbe fietttiuua
character quoted by Mra. Tiltoa, in wbieb
be will find almost a perfect parallel for
this cose.
Owing to tho jealousy of one in his own
family, who is near and dear to him, sto
ries have been invented to injure him.
He will explain wby, from this cause, he
was for years oompelled to abstain
from pastoral visits to the famil
ies of bis congregation, and forced
demand tbe appointment of
Mr. Holliday to dieoharge this important
part of hia duties, simply because he
could not be seen with a women without
being subjected to enapioions whioh filled
him with anguish.
M. PRIESTLY, THE CHEMIST.
Honor* to Ulna in Americas nnd

Northdmbxbland, Pa., July 31.—
Prof. Croft, of Toronto, Canada, read
a sketch of the life of Dr. Jos. Priestly.

Washintom, July 31.—Despite the ac
tion of the Government in refusing to
send military forces to Vicksburg, the
Executive powers of the State still per
sist in the statement that pnblio affairs
ere endangered.
Governor Ames, who has bean away
from his post, has returned, end to-day
he telegraphed to President Grant reiter
ating in the main the apprehension set
forth in the telegrams and mail advices
previously forwarded by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Davie. He makoa no formal de
mand for troops, but the tenor of bia die-
patoh ia such as to intimate that he de
sires Federal troops to be oalled to Vicks
burg on election day.
In the meantime, almost every mail
brings protests from respectable oitixent
of Vioksbnrg, denonneiug the action of
the exeontive officers aa nnwarrantable
and without canse other than to intimi

A dispatch reoeived to-day was forward
ed to President Grant, but np to tbe oloae
of the Department yesterday no reply
had been reoeived.
Tbe correspondence and dispatohes on
the subject will be made pnblio by the

Gov. Ames to tho President.
Washington, July 31.—The following
is Gov. Ames’ (of Mississippi) dispatoh to
the President in relation to the Vioks
bnrg troubles:
Jackson, Miaa., July 29, 1874.
To President U. 8. Grant, Washington
I regret to inform yon that I find, upon
returning here, that a serious end alarm,
lag oondition of affairs exists at Vioks
bnrg. Infantry and aavalry organisa
tions exist, and it ia reported a number of
pieoea of artillery have been sent to the
oity, and bodies organized and armed
without authority, end in violation of
the law assume to be guardians
of the peace. This is a polit
ical controversy between the Democrats
and Republicans. Tho whites olaim they
fear frauds on tbe part of their oppo
nents. The Republicans, consisting most
ly of blacks, claim that they fear fraud
and also violenoe on the part of the Dem
ocrats. At one time a oollision and
bloodshed was feared by all, and is now
by the Republican! ; bat by tbe Demo,
orats, it ia believed, only beoause they
have become masters of the aitnation.
They also oppose the preaenoe of troops
at this time.
Of the oansea of this lamentable state
of affaire it ia now useless to speak. 1
only Beek peace and protection for all.
Can there be any serious objection why
troops should not be sent there? No harm
can reaolt, for troops are
many of oar cities at this
moment. In two of the oities of this
State their presence may do greet good.
It may save many lives, whioh would
more than compensate for the harm'
which, if any, I do not see—to result
from snob preaenoe. Will it not be the
least of evils to have troops there for any
emergency?

Governor of Mississippi.
