The main btislnoss of Suturday was the passage of a resolution to have a grand central camp ground tn the vicinity of Genova. Bishop Pierce made some isirtl nent suggestions as to tho plan projHisod. He urged tho stewards of of evory Church tei take tho matter In hand, and induce many njemtsTs of oacli Church to bo pn-s --ent. A committed) of twentJ-Hvo gcntlo mou of various denominations, was aje pointed by tho Presiding Elder to arrange at once for tfio eroetbm of buildings and tho carrying out of plana Tho grounds are to bo open to all denominations, and It Is hoped that they can bo mode so attrac tive as to become a summer resort for peo ple In tills section. At 11 o’clock Bishop Picnic pretK-bcd one oflils simple, strong, groat sermons, the effect of which was very marked on all who hoard It. After the sermon ho took up a collection on tho oue dollar pbui lor Emory College, bn account of tho great scarcity of money, very little was raised. A Nominating CommltlteS Of ouo |ier sorr from each charge, wus npimintexl to select delegates to the South Georgia Coil furopoo.

At 11 o'clock Bishop Pierce preached another of hl great sermons to a very large congregation. All who hoard It considered it a powerful effort. AtSo’clock there was a Sunday-school re-unlon. Over one hundred children are in tho school at Butler, and It Is flourish ing finely. A beautiful address was made by Mr. Abner Flewellen. Rev. W. W, Stewart mode a touching talk. Her G.

Yours,' Luke. A. Lively Chase. Momluy afternoon there was one of the liveliest ehoHoe over wlteetxieil In this city. Two nejfroos were Improving tho shining hour ly “goluK ftlr” somo roasting ears In the garden attetelxsl to Mr. ll(Hlges' resi donee, noar the cemetery. While engaged In this pleasant oetmpqlion, they were dis covered by another person of their own color, but much more honestly Inclined. He at once made for tho marauders and they moved out of Ids way rather rapidly. The honest darkey chased them for several hundred yards. Ho pushed them so close while crossing a Held that they dropped their booty. The pursuer continued and was fast gaining ou tho rogues when un luckily they reached tho sewer near the oolored Methodist church. Into this they darted instantaneously. By the time the avenger reached the spot where they had disappeared uo signs of them remained. They were far away somewhere In safety. The,names at tho two negroes are known, and they will not bo out of danger for sometime. Stealing from gardens is be coming very common In several parts of tho city, and not until some of these petty thieves are caught will it he stopped. Mucirr* County Court. Muscogee County Court met Monday morning at 10 o’clock, Judge Joseph F. Pou, presiding. After the court met Judge Pou stated that an adjournment would be necessary, as tho day was both n State and National holiday, aud judgments taken on it would ▼cry probably bo worth nothing. Judge Pou suggested an adjournment, until tpe fourth Monday In July. Tho third Mon day was offered os a substitute. The sense of tho bar seemed to be in favor of an adjournment until the next regular term, which begins ou thn first Monday In Septemlier. Judge Poll accordingly or dered Ilia court adjourned until Hint time. The followingyiurors were drawn for t he mat term: J..S. Boyd, jr., Jno. W. Ed wards, C. J. Birdsong, Wm. Word law, S. W.

Tlnorowill boa motion for anew trial iu the Pash case, which will be hoard either to-day or to-morrow, the grounds of the motion are not generally known. We hoar that a motion for a new trial will bo made in the case of Peter Fin u, van, who to now in jail ami sentenced to bo Tiling'oti the 30th of July. It Is said that a plea of "non compos mentis'’ will be in sisted upon, and In the opinion of many it Is considered probable that the plea may be substantiated. Whether there will be an effort to obtain anew tr ial for Jiuues Kilgore or not we are not informed. He Is under sentence to bo hung on the 30th-the same day os Finnegan. Motions In those eases will bo of great importance, and their result will be looked to with no little interest by the public. Anew arrival of Hamburg Edgings at apt J. J. WtUTTLE’S. Jewelry repaired and made to order Engraving and Watch Kopairing done at Wittich A KDown's. Tin: FOt KTM IX Bll.lmil t ALL QUfET AND CALM. The glorious Fourth passed In Coluiii bus without a circumstance to indicate Its distinguished position In the regard of the nation. Not the faintest tsimbhuiee of its peculiarity was to ho Seen. While two or three cities In the State) were In a blaze of excitement, Columbus was as calm and, quiet as usual -perhaps a little morn so, for very little business was transacted nnd every body seemed to lie enjoying a day of rest. The colored population, generally so ready to express its Joy and to celebrate any occasion about which It knows noth ing, restrained Its ardor on 3fouday and did not oven bring out Its ranch-used drum and patriotically march through the streets. General Toomb* would have been exactly suited had he boon 1 u tho city, for a greater abstlncnoe from any demon stration whatever would have boon on im possibility. Our military wore the plain dress of the civilian; our Bremen wore no red shirts; and ull fraternities maintained an unbroken silence. Tho day was hot, dull, and uninterest ing—a striking contrast to what the same occasion would have been in Columbus twenty years ago. In tho distant future the same state of affairs will probably re turn, and oil the Fourth there will Is) the same hurrahs, the same a pouting of patri otic!* tho same tributes to the American eagle, mid Lise sauio general noise, confu sion and joy tlial made It once the great day of all the year to tho American |ico ple. We aro all fast getting back Into the old ruts. We do things now that we would never have dreamed of five yehre ago, ami a few years hence all such customs as the celebration of the Fourth will no longer be liounded by Um sectional hues of the present, but will extend all over the coun try wiUi the universality of a past when wo all knew but one name- Americans. ( HATTAHOOCHF.E (OI NT Y STA TISTICS. WHAT OUB NEIUHBOHS ABE DOINO. " By the kindness of 31r. W. B. Willis, tax receiver of Chattahooche county, we aro enabled to give tho public the following important steitistics of the crops planted in that county the present year: Number acres planted or sowed for the grain crop of 1875—Indian corn 12,371; wheat 926; oats 1,848; rye 308; barley 43; rice 37; cow or Held peas, alone or with corn, 9,448. Number acres in hay or forage Bermu da grass, to bo mowed for hoy, 2; pea vines, to bo gathered for forage, 31 Number acres lu other crops -GAUm 11,347; tobacco 4; sugar ,me 77; sorghum 138; ground peas 224; sweet potatoos 330; Irish potatoes 32; melons so; acres In gar dens 519. Orchards and vineyards Number apple trees 6,793; peach trees 22,775; peer trees 395; acres In grape vinos 7. Number farm animals on liand Ist of April—Horses and moles 785; jacks and Jeiinios 8; work oxen 217; all other cattle 2,430; whole number hogs 3,231; hogs for killing next winter 1,762; number sheep 142; goats 550; dogs 598. These statistics aro very important. They have been prepared with great care, and will give an accurate idea of tho uui teriftl resources of the county. It will be seen that there are almost os many aeces In cotton as in corn. The quantity of wheat seems small In comparison with corn. One ol the most noticoablo features of the statistics is the fact that there are only 56 acres in hay or forage. It is rea sonable to suppose that, in a year or two, there will bo ton times this quantity. Reports from the crops in Cliattahoo clioe are very encouraging. There to a flue stand of cotton. Corn Is doing well, and with seasonable rains a magniUoeiit crop will bo tho result. The farmers arc hope ful of receiving a good return for their industry and lubor in a generous yield and abuuduut crops. jrVSCOfIEC NVI-EMIOR ('(IT If T.

Clerk o' Court presented a bill of $lO 25 Lxvsts ixich, in the Hamilton and Davenport cases. Council ordered these paid, but declined at present, authorizing the payment of sl49—the amount awarded by tho jury to J. H.

The clerk was authorized to give notice that executions would at once be issued against delinquent tax-pavers, excepting those had petitioned for a reduction of as sessment. MARSHAL’S HALARY. Mayor McHhenny stated that by au thority of the Council ho had ordered the salary of the late Marshal, My. Matt Mur- I phy, to be paid to his widow. Alderman Blanchard, Mayor pro tom, ! was called to the chair and Mayor Mcll- I benny took the floor. I He exonerated the Treasurer from rll j blame in paying tho salary to Marshal Murphy’s widow. If tho (Council did not j authorize the Treasurer in his action he I would pay the sum himself. Tho liberal contributions oft citizens, | amounting to $l,lOO, had enabled the widow to purchase a home and the salary | had enabled her to live. i The Mayor did not think that lie had at j all transcended his authority. ! Aldorman Blanchard offered the fol {lowing which was unanimously adopted: ' Whereas, upon the death of Marshal I Murphy it was informally resolved that j the salary which was to be paid him, should be paid to his widow; and further, that to meet this expenditure, there should be no election for City Marshal this year; be it therefore, resolved, that the sum ap i propriated as u salary for the aforesaid marshal be ordered paid to his widow for the j>eriod of eight months. Alderman Brannon desired an ordinance passed giving the families of officers killed in the discharge of duty, the salaries of said officers, for a certain length of time. Alderman Blanchard objected to bind ing future Councils; a good precedent was all that was necessary. Council th<*n adjourned. Ikied. Mrs. Mary A. N. Bush, wife of C. P.

A pleasant time maybeexpected. Fruit. The market is full of fruit now and the general quality of it is good. Peaches come in abundantly and get lietter and cheaper every day; apples are to be found everywhere; melons are common, and “harries” as thick as the locusts of Egypt. There is plenty to eat now, and fruit has passed that stage of growth, which im prudent mortals seem to love so much and which caused such an amount of sickness in the city about a month ago. It is all ripe now and we can e.it as much as we want. If you want a Black Lace Point at New york cost call at J. J.

Will tire day over come when tho oolored jK>pulation will not pine for the footive ex ! curslon ? That shower of Monday afternoon was j the most delightful of the season. Vogo j tation was greatly beneflttod by it j The spring mocking birds have begun to make a noise In the world, but as yet it I is wofully monotonous. | Tho excursionists were a dusty hx>king set as they marched up from the depot yesterday. They all wore a happy ex pression nevertheless. The fisherman says the dullness of the tunes has affected him, und ho looks quite dry as he sits in the sun and waits for a bite. Columbus pleasure seekers l>ok for restand relief in the classic precincts of Pine Knot. Though freights are dull, the business of the Southern Express Com puny keeps up finely. It tries one’s patience to make wine and then have to wait a year or two for it to get “drinkable,” Many of the cisterns in the city arc dry. The want of rain has ruinod them for the present. A few more showers like that of Monday and we will have good drinking water again and plenty of it. Everybody is begiuing to hope that the day is not distant when tho “Alabama Sling” will be looked upon as a disused weapon of warfare. Until then window panes and pigeons can enjoy nothing like permanent siifety. It is discouraging to hear so many peo ple plauning to go away for a few weeks enjoyment in the rural distric ts. Like all cities, Columbus is unpleasant in the mid dle of Summer. The temperance men of the country are about equally divided between lager beer and cider now. For general hoalthfulnoss the former is preferable. Rifle matches are all the talk now; lets have one out on the commons. The establishment of water works in At lanta has stopped a score or two of busy mills, and the owners aro as mad as fury. They ail want damages and ask for va rious sums, from $25,000 up to—just as much as they can get. “Gath,” G<x>rge Alfred Townsend, the finest newspaper correspondent on the continent, has left the St. Louis Timm and it will suffer by his absence. Boys, as a general rule, look strangely younger when asleep than when awake. The country has had its full share of tor nadoes tli is year. Coral sets are more popular than ever with our fair ones. Georgia Grangers have the establish ment of warehouses “on the brain.” Basil bull items are the chief source of amusement for Savannah locals. Wisdom for women: It is better to love a man you can never marry than to marry a man you can never love. Children thrive in dirt, and the dirtiest are generally healthiest. It is a pity that our railroads don’t have first-class sleeping ears. No other city in Georgia is without them. There is a hen who resides in tho rear of this office that seems to lay an egg every hour in the day, judging from tho contin uity of her triumphant cackle. The clerks say times wouldn’t be so dull if the merchants would let them off at 6 o’clock. Perhaps they wouldn’t. A Columbus “skecter” bites you very soon after he is born. The Chattahoochee is the clysium of Columbus juveniles. Whence come those myriads of black berries that daily darken our public ave nues? Thermometers are the only lively things we know of novr.

Marietta, Ga., March 9,1870. j Messrs. Bradfield A Cos.: Gentlemen—You will please ship us an other supply of your invaluable Female Regulator, and forward bill by mail. We are happy to state that this remedy gives better satisfaction than any article we sell. We have been willing it since 1868, and witnessed many remarkable cures by it. Among others, there was a lady friend of ours who was sallow and sickly until she was twenty-six years old, when she was married, llcr husband lived two years and died. .She continued in bad health; ill fact, she has never been what a woman ought to be. A few months after the death of her husband she saw your advertisement, and caiue to our store and bought a bottle of your Regula tor from us, and took it according to di rections. It has cured her sound and well, brought her regular monthly peri ods on, and to-day she is a hearty, bloom ing widow—with the use of but two bot tles of vour Regulator, costing her only throe dollars, when she had tned several physicians and spent a great deal of money without any benefit. Wishing you great success with your valuable reme dies, we are, respectfully yours, etc., W. Root A Sons. ap23 3m I DIRECTORY OF THE CITY. Churrkea. FI JUT rnEMHTTBAJAM.
