The negroes ofasuburb of Augusta,
known ns Rabbit Hill, Imd a big
scare on Saturday night, caused by
a mischlevoifs report that the "ICu-
Klux” were to make them a visit.
They know where to seek protection,
howovor, and instead of running over
intd Radical and negro-ridden Month
Carolina, they sought the protection
of the white Democrats of Augusta.
They spent the night in the heart of
the elty, and no attack was made on
the places they had left. The report,
proved to be as unfounded as it was
foolish.
*
Gen. Ranks, the Democratic and
Liberal candidate for Congress, when
speaking in Roston the other day,
was frequently Interrupted by Radi
cal cries of “traitor” and hisses. Mr.
Norton, who attempted to follow
him on the same side, was prevented
by the disorder raised. Had a Radi
cal orator in the South been thus
treated by Democrats, Boston would
have howled with rage, and urgent
appeals would have been made to the
Administration at Washington to
hurry more troops to the South.
We must decline publishing the
communication from Buena Vista
signed “Marion Voters.” Ist The
name of the writer does not ac
company it, and this would exclude
it without any other reason. 2d
Wedo not desire to open our columns
to a discussion of the unfortunate di
vision which the writer says exists in
the Democratio party of Marion
especially in advocacy of what we
understand to bo opposition to the
regular nomination, ad—Our corres
pondent uses dashes where he should
give names to muko his charges dis
tinct and tangible.
A “little unpleasantness” occur
red between the Democratic and in
dependent candidates for Governor
of Tennessee atMhelbyville last week,
which will probably lead to tiie
breaking up of their joint appoint
ments. According to a Democratic
statement, it occurred thus:
001. Thomas said to Gov. Porter:
"When you stated that I voted
against the bill to exempt $250 worth
of material in the hands of mechan
ics, you perverted the record; you
made a false statement, in fact.” ’
Gov. Porter supported his state
ment by reading from the Senat.
Journal; and said that when Colonel
Thomas charged him with wilfully
misstating the fact, lie lied.
Thomas, who was sitting with a
knife open in his hand, readied after
his stick ; when Gov. Porter, putting
his hand on his overcoat, told Col.
Thomas that if lie attempted to
strike him with his stick, he would
do it at his peril.
Col. Thomas has published a card
in which ho states that Gov. Porter
first misrepresented him, and that
when he corrected the misrepresent
ation Gov. Porter insulted him ; that
ho then advanced towards tlio Gov
ernor, when tlio latter drew a pistol.
He concludes by saying that he will
withdraw from his joint, appoint
ments with Gov. Porter and make
appointments of his own. And now
the Radical press of Tennessee is
accusing Gov. Porter of canvassing
the State with a pistol in Ilia pocket.

Some uneasiness was occasioned in
Augusta, on Monday, by tho report
to the Board of Health of a death by
yellow fever in the city; hut the in
vestigation and discussion by the
Board appear to have allayed all ap
prehension. Dra. Edw. Goddiugs
and 8. C. Eve reported tlio death of
John Murphy, “with undoubted
symptoms of yellow fever, hut with
out black vomit.” In the Board,
Dr. Eve, in reply to a question, said
that tho intermission of fever in the
patient had boon very sonsihle. Dr.
Dugas said the case could not then
have been yellow fever, for there was
but one paroxysm in that disease.
Both Drs. Geddiogs and Eve statod
that it was impossible to decide posi
tively whether the first ease originat
ing in a place was yellow fever or
not. The general sentiment of
the physicians was that it was a
case of malignant malarial fever.
The locality was pronounced a
very unhealthy ono generally.
Dr. Dugas said that it required
a salt atmosphere to produce
yellow fever; that in 1839 and 1854,
when Augusta had tho disease, the
wind blew from the east from eighty
to one hundred days, and tlio air at
that time was as salt, as that at Sa
vannah. But now Augusta is having
nearly every day a fine northwest
wind, and tho atmosphere is not in a
condition to receive yellow lever. It
was also argued that as ten days had
elapsed since Murphy was taken
sick, and no other caso had occurred,
there could be no condition favoring
tho spread of the disease, even if he
had it. The Board resolved that the
evidence was insufficient to establish
the existence of a genuino ease of
yellow fever In the city. , I

The political canvass in Georgia
has boon so quiet and unruffled that
we cun hardly realizo that tho day
of the election is less than a week off.
It occurs on Wednesday next. Here
in Muscogee wo have no opposition
to our Democratic Legislative ticket,
and no one thinks the candidacy of
Mr. Norcross for Governor of suffici
ent consequence to bestow a serious
thought upon it. There is, under
theso circumstances, reason to fear
that only a light vote will bo cast.
But we hope that the people of the
county will not remain at home
simply because they apprehend no
danger to their tickets. Georgia
leads off in tho October elections, and
If she should east for tho Democratic
ticket, a vote so great as to show the
utter hopelessness of a contest on the
part of the enemy In November, this
would greatly animate our frionds in
Ohio nml Indiana, and indeed ail
■over the Union. This is a critical
time in tho Presidential can
vass. Tho Ootobor elections are anx
iously looked for as Indices of tlio di
rection of tlio popular sentiment
which Js to carry either Tilden or
Hayes into tlio Preidential chair. The
strong probability is that these Octo
ber elections will virtually decide
the Novomber contest. Let the Dem
ocrats of Georgia, then, make an ex
hibit of their strength on Wednesday
next-not contenting thomsdves with
tho mere election of their tickets, but
casting such a vote for thorn as will
show how earnestly and solidly the
Democrats of tho South aro enlisted
in the butte for administrative reform
and constitutional government. We
owe this, too, to our candidate for
Governor and to our nominees for
tho Legislature men whose talents
and worth ought to receivo the
strongest possible endorsement by
tho people. Let every man vote on
Wednesday next, remembering that
if his vote is not needed here, it is
needed to encourage and enthuse his
party elsewhere,

AN 1X1(1 IKY.
At tlio suggestion of a. physician,
we make tho inquiry whether the
persons designated as “colored” in
tho reports of deaths from yellow fe
ver at Savannah wore full-blooded
negroes or persons of mixed blood.
We understand that somo medical
men feel a professional interest in
this matter, as it has been generally
supposed that pure negroes had an
Immunity from yellow fever. Will
the News please give us some light on
the subject? If negroes of uninlxed
blood havo died in Savannah of yel
low fever, tlio fact will give rise to
other inquiries on tho subject, that
will readily suggest themselves.
—
Ilf*.-illi ill Her. FllWliril il. Myers. 11. n.
A telegram received from Savan
nah this morning announces the
death by yellow fever of Rev. E. H.
Myers.
To this community, of which ho
was so recently an honored member,
having been identified with itas edit
or of the Southern Christian Advo
cate, and more recently as President
of Wesleyan Female College, the an
nouncement of his death is peculiar
ly sad. The telegram States, “ho
fell at ills post,’’just asall who knew
him would expect him to fall. He
has discharged the most honorable
and important office of his life as
ono of the Commissioners of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
appointed to meet a commission
from tiie Methodist Episcopal
Church North, for the purpose of
settling the differences between
these largo eeolesiastical bodies in
tiie interest of Christian fraternity.
Tlio joint commissioners met at
Capo May in tlio mouth of August,
amt after a harmonious session
agreed upon terms of fraternization
universally acceptable and honorable
to both parties. Tarrying a few days
after ids work was finished, among
his friends in New York, where he
preached in the Church of tiie
Strangers to a largo assembly of in
terested hearers, his visit was cut
short by the announcement of yel
low fever in Savannah, where herwas
pastor of a leading Methodist church.
Without stopping to confer with flesh
ami blood, this true limn and
Christian minister returned at once
to tho stricken city. A few days of
exposure and service—and the terri
ble disease seizes him —Goes its fear
ful work and the Christian soldier
is dead.
Not liis family only, hut the
Methodist church in Georgiannd tho
entire South—bewail iiis death.
Truly a groat man has fallen in
Israel. W. 0. B .—Macon Tel.

Rodfichl’s letter to tho Cincinnati Commercial.]
Notwithstanding the very gallant
light which Judge Settlo is making,
and the almost universal esteem in
which ho is held hero, I see no prob
ability of his election, or, at least,but
a very small probability. He will
run ahead of his ticket, hutabout 12,-
(Xio behind an election. I look for
Vanee to carry tho Stato by from 10,-
000 to 15,000, and Tilden probably 20,-
000.
I see in iu the papers that tlio Re
publicans übo.it Washington are
counting upon North Carolina as
probable for Hayes und Wheeler. In
my estimation they are mistaken.
North Carolina will go with the solid
South.
Since the civil rights excitement,
North Carolina Ims been undeniably
Democratic. Both Senators are Dem
ocratic. Everv member of Congress
hut, ono is Democratic. The Govern
or only is Republican, and he because
ho whs elected four years ago, before
the civil rights tidal wave sweptoveT
tills State and carried it badily into
tlio Democratic party. Before that
firebrand was thrown into the South,
there were counties in this State
where tho white voters were more
than two to ono Republican! Think
of that, and then curse the stupidity
and malice and recklessness of the
Republican majority in the Senate
and Congress who deliberately enact
ed a measure that could be of no
earthly benefit to the blacks, but
which drew the color line and anni
hilated the white Republican majori
ty in sections where a leaven of the
kind is needed above all things. I
cannot account for it. Perhaps it
was because “whom the gods destroy
they first make mad.”

Fort Valley, Sept. 20, 1870,
Editor Timex: This villago is sltu
i ated at the junction of tlio Macon and
Columbus, and Macon, Albany and
Etifaula railroad lines. For a long
time it was tiie eating house for the
travel; now neither train stops for
meuls, all the schedules being in the
night in passing this point.
Fort Valley is blessed with a "spicy
sheet” that gives all file news of the
county, the general news of the day,
with now and then an able editorial
from the pen of its crisp editor, who
is a handsome, dashing young bach
elor. Tlio town contains the usual
public buildings, churches, school
hoi.scs, town halls, hank ami hotels.
Tho merchants, grocers, druggists,
artists, lawyers, doctors, cotton buy
ors and shippers seem to he making
money,
THE EAKMF.RH
are about out of debt., ami do not
grumble so much at hard times, tlio’
it is conceded that it will take the
bulk of this crop to enable them to
pay off advances.
CROPS.
Cotton short. Corn and grain full
crop. Peas, potatoes, fodder mid
hay good average throughout the
county. Cotton opened far in ad
vance of the season; the amount
gathered in September is no criter
ion by which to estimate the crop.
THE BOIL
is of a limestone character and con
sidered rich and productive. The
most productive lands lie on the bot
toms adjacent to branches,creeks and
livers, Tiie surface is slightly roll
ing, hut level enough for all farming
purposes, and of easy tilling and gep
ous yield when proprerly cultivated.

HEALTHY.
Notwithstanding tho great scourge
that visited this county in 1871, sta
tistics show it to ho as healtiiyus any
part of central Georgia. Just now
the physicians say it is remarkably
heathy all over the county.
EARLY SETTLERS OF THE COUNTY.
Among the noted pioneers of tho
county were David Clark, Futlwood
Wiggins, Hardy and Howell Cobh.
Their deeds and acts aro yet fresh to
the memory of many of the old and
middle aged people here.
RELIGIOUS.
All denominations of the “Ortho
dox Christians,” including Protes
tant and Catholic, havo places of
worship in tlio country. There are
also some few Universalists. The
Methodists scorn to be in the majori
ty. Among their shining lights of
the pulpit is Robert Lester, who, to
say the least of him, is a pious, self
sacrificing man of God. Old ago is
creeping on him, yet he loses none
of the vigor of mind and daily ripens
and mellows in Christian grace. May
ho live long and he able to lead sin
ners to repentance.
HOUSTON COUNTY,
Named in honor of John Houston, a
son of Sir Patrick Houston. John
was perhaps a native of Georgia. On
the 14th of July, 1771, he, in connec
tion witli Bulloch, Walton and Jones,
signed the first call to nssernhlo the
friends of liberty in Savannah; the
call was published in the Georgia Ga
zette. Glenn was made chairman of
the meeting held pursuant to the
above call. They adopted resolutions
and asked their adoption by tho
Provinces. On this occasion Houston
did his whole duty.
In 1775 he was appointed a member
of Congress, and again in I77fi. His
name would have been to the Decla
ration of Independence, hut for ono
Independent Congressman, who left
Philadelphia to come homo, stump
the State before the people, and per
suade them to repudiate the Declara
tion as it was a party trick adopted
in Convention. 11c was a Reverend
Divine by tho name of Zubli and was
a delegate from Georgia. From that
day to this, whenever a "Political
Preacher” left the pulpit and entered
politics, if he was not nominated by
the party, he “Zublized” himself and
stumped tho State as an Independent
before the people.
In moat cases they have been beat
en like Zubli of 177 G; and may this
Centennial year see all tho “inde
pendent. preacher candidates” meet
tho fate of Zubli of old. Houston was
sent, home to counteract his influence
before tho people, and rally Geor
gians to tlio Declaration of Independ
ence. In 1777 he was placed in the
Executive Council—in 1778 was
chosen Governor. Whilst Governor,
he went down to St. Mary’s with
Howe to make an invasion into East
Florida. For some reason unknown
to the historian, they failed to cross
the St. Mary’s river, broke up the
expedition, and returned to Savifii
uah. In 1784 he was again selected
as Governor; In 1787 ho was elected
one of the commissioners on boun
dary lines between Georgia and
South Carolina. Ho differed widely
from the other members of the com
mission. and entered his solemn pro
test against their report. This able
protest is recorded on page GtiG, in
Manbury’s & Crawford’s Digest; it is
an able State paper, and would re
flect credit on any statesman of to
day. He was by profession a disci
ple of Coke & Blackstone. Ho died
near Savannah in 1796. At the
formation of this county, Georgia
did well to honor so good and true a
man and citizen, who stood by her
and her people in tiie dav of
the Revolution.
OUR DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.
The chosen nominees of the Con-1
servativeparty to represent this coun
ty in the next Legislatin', are men of*
decided ability. Miller, the
youngest of the three, will be able to
“pick his cotton with” the rest, and
when tho baskets of Legislative acts
aro weighed at the close of the Leg
islature, his will "kick tho beam”
high up in the hundreds—clear sta
ple, free from “Radioal trash.”
NEXT WEDNESDAY.
Let every Conservative voter bo at
the polls early Wednesday morning.
Let him cast his vote and then go
and urge his neighbor to do likewise.
Let all vote for Colquitt und the
nominees. Thursday morning next
Adion Indiana asks of Georgia what
of the Democracy? let the answer
go hack, 80,000 for Colquit t, and two
days later Indiana will cry out with a
mighty shout, “all’s well,” “Blue
Jeans” Williams has 10,000 more.
Onr people owe it to themselves to
east the full vote for Colquitt, they
owe it to him to make his majority as
largeas possible. They owe it to Til
den, Hendricks and Reform to swell
the majority to its true strength
in Georgia. Then let no man fail to
do his duty Wednesday--let not tlio
sun go down on on-unpolled vote.
