Tho cop per Interest Of that section Is growing in importance, and bids fair to beoome the richest aource of pur State wealth. —Dalton Knii-rprim : On last Saturday evening, as the Wdtern A Atlantic Rail road passenger train was passing out of the depot at a rapid rate of speed, it ran over a two-mule wagou containing Mr. Monroe MoQhee, two ladies and a child, from Murray county, demolishing the wagon, killing ono of tho mules, throwing tme of the ladles high in tho air, and all of them, including the wagon, down into a deep ditch. One of the ladlos had her col lar bone fractured, and the gontleroan re ceived a wound on the head. It is the greatest wonder that they were not all in stantly killed. —The Brunswick Advertiser of'tlio 13th says: "In our lost issue wo published that 'Brunswick never wns healthier.’ Such was iudeod tho case up to the time of going to press, but immediately after our publication a very malignant typo of fever showed itself lit the neighborhood of Bay street" It adds: “We regret to say that many of ourpeople have been seized with a sort of panic, and left in hot haste. A humber of doatlis have indeed occurred within tlie last eight days from different causes, only four of which bore any resemblance to yellow fever and two of them refused to take any medicine until too late.” —Thairwinton Appeal says: Mr. Jona than Johns, who resided in the western tmrtion o( tho county, had been to mill in an ox-cart, and was returning home, sit ting astride the cart pole or tongue, when the steers were struck by lightning and instantly killed. The fluid leaped to the tongue of the cart and spilt It open, throwing Mr. Johns some distance off and rendering him insensible. It then struck the cart and demolished the wood work. Mr. Johns remained insensible a few min utes, and then recovered, and picking up a sack of meol.-walked to the house of Mr. John McArthur, a half-rafte distant, and told at his misfortune. An inspection of the spot verified his story In every partic ular. Mr. Johns' face was blackened by the lightning to an almost inky hue— which color, however, yielded to the influ ence of soap and water, and he died years afterward a white man. This was cer tainly a narrow escape. The article which we copied yes terday, headed "The Great Ameri can Snake,” should have been cred ited to the New York lUorW. TRF. WAR ®F NRCTIONH IS IT ALWAVI TO COST! No characteristic of the progress ing Presidential canvass Is* more marked than the attempt by tho Re publican leaders of the North to keep up tho possiona and prejudices of that section against the South. This is exhibited not only in the aggra vating and unwarrantable acts of the Administration at Washington-not only In the frantih efforts of Morton, Boutwoll, Blaine and others to re arouse an exciterreht on the subjeot of ‘‘Southern outrages” that, have no existence-but in the avowed dec laration that inasmuch as the South ern States are nearly a unit for the DemiToracy, the North must be a unit for the Republicans to prevent the ascendancy in the Government of Southern men and Ideas. If Southern "Mess" were inimical to the North uud its interests, or Southern men proposed any measures detrimental to that section, there might be some excuse for this attempt to keep alive a bitter Northern feeling against the South. But no Southern man thinks of any such thing. The only political aspiration of our section is to regain her equal rights In tho Union, and any opposition to this is sectionalism of the most pernicious and danger ous kind. It is very little short of a continuance of the sectional war. The men engaged'in it nre faithless to the Constitution and enemies to the peace of the country. We are pleased to see that Senator Bayard, of Delaware, happily and forcibly alluded to this attempt to revive or intensify sectional feeling, In a speech which he made before the Democratic State Convention of New Jersey, at Trenton, or Tuesday last. He said: The issue is broadly and yet delib erately stated in the present contest of parties “to be between a united South and a necessarily united North.” My friends, such an issue cannot and will not be made or ac cepted by any American who loves his country more than his party. Such phrases, such thoughts are be gotten of heated party politics, and are unfit for honest men to utter or honest men to hearken unto. What does the South seek which endangers the North? Is it us in 1861, a separate governmental existence? The doc trine ot secession died in April, 1805, and not eVen the wildest credulity has imagined that pule ghost Ims ever or will ever revisit its former abodes on earth. Is it the institution of ne gro slavery ? Who so deaf as not to near all over the South from every white man, woman and child but one increasing voice of thanks that the day of slavery has passed never to return. Upon what, question, what issue, is “tne South a unit,” which should compel the Northern States to array themselves in solid opposi tion ? I noticed the other day, in the letter of Mr. Rogers, of New York, accenting the nomination of the Re publican party of that State for Lieu tonnnt Governor, tho statement, that It was thedouble purpose of the Dem ocratic party. If successful, to pay the debt, of the late Confederate States, and also to repudiate the debt of the United States. Now what a condi tion of mind does such a statement dlsclose—what stupidity or gullibili ty does it assume in the public that any man aspiring to high office Hhonld risk his reputation by gravely an nouncing such stuff? It is too silly and stupid to merit denial, ahd I no tice it only to Illustrate the extremi ties to which the supporters of the Grant, Hlives and Wheeler party are driveu. The South is a unit for re form. for honest administration, for equal laws, for upholding every guar antee of the Constitution to every State and every citizen of everv State. The South is a' unit against a Federal Administration which has organized government in those States, so that it is but another name for robbery, whloh has placed and kept in official power a Class of rulers fatal to peace, Vrosnerity and decent government,. tie Sent hero States need peace and honest rule; they need economy and honesty in their rulers to enable them to build anew the fabric of their fortunes. This is ail they ask, and for this they are a unit. The South is a unit for just such objects as , will benefit and bless the North as well ns the South. She has no Interest incon sistent with the interests of the North. She has no ambition to grat ify but will redound to Northern as well as Southern reputation. For richer or for poorer, for better and for worse, her fate is linked to t hat of the Northers States,and the winds of fortune visit both together. Thus when Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Boutwell, Mr. Bristow, Mr. Woodford und their party call for a united North against the South, they say in substance, “Let; the war go on r* Grant’s catch word,‘’Let. us have peace,” must, be translated like a Brooklyu love-let ter, and behold, its true meuning is "Let us have war.” To this dreadful end are the speeches of Mr. Morton gotten up by party editors and read for days at a time iu the Senate, and circulated by the thousand. To this end Mr. Boutwell, his heart tilled with hatred and his lips quivering with utrocious invectives, is sent down to find in Mississippi some crime to shock the sense of men and women in the North, who see not what, he carefully withholds, or per hajie is too blinded by his animosi ties against the white people of Mis sissippi to see himself. To this end Grant assails every successful at tempt of the South to extricate them selves from the rule of the harpies and rogues he has sought to keep in power over them. To this end Cam eron, tricky and lawless, orders the willing Sherman to create a public belief that the only alternative to submission to Radical success at the polls U war upon the whites hy troops they are taxed to support. Anil Taft, the supple-kneed Attorney j General, hastens to evade tho deeis-1 ions of the Supreme Court, und In sists upon the execution of laws de clared to be invalid and of no author ity. When the expenses of this Government are iwid, by whom are they contributed? Look at your lists —see where your internal revenue comes from in 1875: Virginia $7,546,243 Kentucky 8.831,000 Missouri 3,730,344 while from tho whole six New Kuglaud States the internal revenue is only $2,771,014. Upon these States the Government relies for the means to meet its just obligation to the creditor. Are you so rich that you cun disregard these figures, and do vou wish tp discard the aid of your Southern brethren ? Give to the pea pie of Louisiana. Mississippi and the Carolinas the peace of the law, and they will speedily join the other Southern States in a common contri bution that will go far to relieve the present burdens of taxation, while a continuance of the system of the Re publican party will soon leave the people of all theso States without revenuo, a burden upon the Federal Government. Why, then, will you support a party who seeks to array titeNorthernMtateg in a body against them ? John Milton, one of liberty’s chief apostles, cried in his day: “What can war but, endless wars still breed ?” And I ask you What can come of this hostilo array of t he sec tions of tho ropubllc-thift deliberate renewal of hostilities by the Repub lican party? Do they mean we shall have War forever? Tho country needs, and can now ordain, that nonest.y, capacity and economy shall once again be the es sential features of administration; and in the nominees of the St. Louis Convention we recognize men who have proven that they possess these qualities and faculties. There Is not a man in the country knowing the character of Samuel J. TUden but would confide to him the care of his private interests, relying confidently upon his sagacity and far-sighted ness, und equally upon his personal integrity. As much may truly be said of Thomas A. Hendricks, who is be loved and honored by men of all par ties in the State of Indiana, of which In his mature years ho is the Gov ernor. Relieving, nay, knowing, that the success of tho Republican party in November will but continue the Influences and practices of the pre sent, Administration, hostile, if not fatal, to that unity of Interest and feeling among our countrymen of all the States, which is our surest and strongest bulwark, I have stated much less strongly than I would de sire some reasons why a change in the Federal Administration is neces sary for the welfare of our people and the maintenance of our Govern ment of limited powers. TRF. VF, 1.1,0 W FF.VKH. No Abatement or (lie KuUeiutr-In crease of the Mortality. By our report of interments in the cemeteries, it will be seen that while there was yesterday an increase of five interments over the previous day, there was a diminution of four in the number of burials of yellow fever pa tients. Tho total interments was thirty, of which eighteen are repor ted as deaths from yellow fever. Six of the remaining twelve interments are reported as deaths from other types of fever. Under these circum stances we cannot regard the report of yesterday as in any degree indica tive of an abatement of the epidem ic with which our devoted city has been afflicted. Wo have no authentic report of the | new cases of sickness, though we uu- j derstand that there is no diminution,, and that the general suffering calls 1 for the utmost energies and means of the Benevolent Association, and who are aided iu their generous work by many of our benevolent citizens. —Savannah New*, 15 inst. Thu trains from Savannah still bring us refugees, the Morning New* gloomy intelligence, and the wires a heavy nightly death record. Thoso whom wo met lustevening wereof the opinion that up to the time of their departure yesterday morning there had been a considerable increase of new oases, but a gratifying reduction in the number of deaths. Among the arrivals lust night wo mot Mr. Win. R. Evans and wife, who buried the last of four children on Thursday, nil of whom died within the past six weeks, three of yellow fever. The last, little Isabella, was an interesting child of nine years. Mr. Evans has for many years'been an attache of the Morning News office, and bus a largo list, of friends and acnnaintancesamong the typograph ical fraternity, who will unite with us in sympathy for their terrible be roavment. From Mr. Evans we learn that Mr. J. IT. Estill remains man fully at, his post, and is untiring in his efforts in any direction that can possibly ameliorate the suffer ing umong those with whom he is connected in the publication of ids excellent papet. Quite a number of his employes have goue off with the panic stricken, but u sufficient corps remains on bund to guarantee the customary regularity of his paper. It is a gratifying fact that notwith standing the exposure to epidemic influence to which compositors ou a daily paper arc subjected, none of the employes of the News, thus far, have been sick. There is now no doubt that, the plague has become pretty well es tablished in the uromiuent portions of the city, while in the suburbs, among the poorer classes, it is even harder to control. That, section of the oity lying between South Broad, Little Jones, West Broad and Jeffer son streets has been, and now is, one of the most infested districts of the oity. There have been over eighteen deaths in that section alone,— Maeon Telegraph, 16 Ih. A Mint at Dahlonecu.—We per ceive that the Director Lindermao has given instructions for the re sumption of operations at the Mint in New Orleans at an early, date. Would it not bo better to re-establish the Mint at Dahlonega? We believe that the onl£ convenience afforded formerly by the New Orleans Mint was for thecoinageof gold and silver front Mexico, obtained in the then extensive trade between New Orleans and that Republic. That trade is small now, and we get very little bullion from Mexico. But mining operations in Georgia have been re sumed ou a larger scale than ever, and if ever there was any need for a mint iu Dahlonega, there is fully as much need for oue now. We hope the Congressmen from Georgia will energetically claim a Mint at Dah longa, at the next session. The split in the Radical convention of the Fourth District of Alabama, which led to the nomination of Ra pier by one faction, and Haralson by the other, was an incident of the war between tho Spencer and autl-Spen eer wings. Rapier is a Speneerite, and i Haralson is anti-Spencer. The latter is probably the best speaker of his j color in the State, and is in every way far superior to Spencer. Both Rapier and Haralson nre colored, ana each has strong support in his own section of the District. Dr. Loiarnl, in his speech at King ston, Saturday, remarked that Aker man had stated that three Demo crats had been expelled from Con gress; one for beiug a tliief, one for being a liar, and one for being a fool. Akerman was mistaken. Not a sin gle Democrat was expelled from Congress. The Democrats made it too hot for a Republican thief and liar—James G. Blaine—who, to es cape being turned out, got sick and went home. They also tried to turn a Radical thief (Belknap.) out of the Cabinet, but he was too sharp for them, and resigned before they could arrest him. And as forturning a fool out, Grant himself did that lit tle thing over four years ago, when he turned Akerman out of the office of Attorney-General,— Rome Courier. I.'NF.ttHAI. TAXATION. That is a noteworthy statement of Senator Bayard, in the speech fro*) which we make an extract! to-day, to the effect that the three Bout hern States of Virginia, Missouri and Ken tucky pay $20,000,000 annually of in ternal revenue to the Federal Gov eminent, while all the New England States pay only $3,000,000. When we take into consideration the great pre ponderance of the wealth of the New England States, we see how unequal ly tlie taxes of the Government nre made to bear on the people. And when we bear In mind the fact, that the Federal Constitution requires that, divert ta.rat'Urn sbail lie appor tioned among the States according to their representative population, we see how illegally this is done. Tho New England States, paying three millions of dollars of internal revenue or direct taxes, have a popu lation of 3,487,924 according to the census of 1870; while the three South ern States named, payingtwenty mil lions of such taxes, have a popula tion of 4,267,459. In other words, the people of these States pay about $4.50 per eapita to the Federal Gov ernment in the way of direct taxes, while the people of the New England States pay less than one dollar per head. New England makes her “loyally” pay, and then abuses the tax-paying South as "disloyal,” thriftless and unprofitable! NEW GROCERY STORE. No, 124 Broad Street.
