Georgia Scenes.
Old Stanwix tells the following
Georgia story, and vouches for its
truthfulness .
About thirty-three and a third
'ears age, there dwelt in one of the
rural d t.tricts of Georgia, an old cod
ger by the name of Butt Cut Taylor,
who had foi nerly enjoyed the honors
and emoluments pertaining to the
office of Justice of Peace, the duties
of which uffiue be diacharged with ac
knowledged "aoilit)" and dignity;
and vo far as his neighbors wors espa
ble of judging, he appeared to be a
very honen.t man. He had however
acquired the h Lbit of "trumping up"
accounts against the estates of those
of his neighbo.s who were so unfortu.
nate as to "ahuffie off thwir mortal
coils" with'n the bounds of his baili
wick. He had carried the practice
to such an extent as to arouse a sus
picion in the mitds of some of his
meddlesome neighbors, that there
might be something dead" somewhere
in the "Peat of hi' -financial opera
tions. Bob Crogan, who lived in the
neighborhood, and "run" the post
office at the cross roads, being some
thing of a wag, and having an idea
that the '8.quire's honesty should be j
q uoted below par, tobcluded, with'
tbe connivance and assistance of a.
few conirades, to "thbearth the sly old
fou,'" And expose his rascalities. Ao
cordingly Bob pretended to die, was
regularly shrouded and laid out on
the cooling board in the most-approv
ed faahion, and sorrowing friends pro.
ceeded to spread the niews of his
demise, which soon reached the ears
of old Butt Cut. He lost no time in
repairing to the hone of mourning,|
carrying with him a "full and om
p lete assortment" of 6ret class condo.
lonce and sympathy for gratuitous
distributiont amnos tio nmebes of
the biareaved faily, and the manty
sorrowing friendt'of the supposed do
ceased, who were preosent when ho ar
rived. After he- had' relieved his
heart of him burden of healing words,
and had succeeded in a tolerable ef
fort at eryinig, and was about to leave
the scene, he tenderly spoke as fol
"Ah poor Bob ; I'm sorry he died,
he was a good fetier, attd I salus lik
edi him. Wheas we and hima went to
the race at Augusta-naow nigh unto
two years ago-I loaned him a hon.
dred diollrd to Wet into a bay mare,
and he lost and nieter paid me a cent
of thbai money from that day to this,
Poor fellow, he forgot It I reckon, but
Its an honest det; of course 1 can
get It out of his estate, and-"
Buitt-Cut didn't finlish the sentence
for just at this point Bob, the corpse,
slowly raised up in his shroud, and
stretched out hi. arms tuward the
old rogue, as if to olutch him, yell
ed:
"You are an hnaleital. old liar, ad
if.-"
The din and roar drowned tbe lest,
and old Butt Cut didn't wait to see
or hear anything maore, but
with the hurried esclamaetion, "god,
diepaity," be shot through the door,
burrried to his homte, "packed his
traps," and not only left the neigh.
horbood but 'the State of Georgia,

On Saturday night last, the color

before Rawlinson's Hotel, to seren.
ade the Republioan members of the
Congressional Ku Klux Committee,
who had arrived ber that afternoon.
An Immeuse crow: of persons illed
the sidewalk above and below the
hotel, collected partly by th) muosi
of the band, and partly, perhaps, to
create a demonstration in honor of
the members of the committee. The
marshals of the town, under an ordi.
nance of the council, occupied them
selves in an effort to keep the side.
walks clear of the crowd, so as not to
obstruct the usual passage of persona
engaged on other business. Toward
the clo:e of the demonstration, Wm.
If. Snyder-one of the marshals
while discharging this duty, met one
Tom Johnson, colored, who refused
to give way to the command of the
officer of the law. Snyder then at.
tempted to arrest him ; but Tom. re.
fusing to acknowledge the supremacy
of the law,jorked loose several times
and attempted to force his way at the
head of the crowd, whether or no.
Upon a third attempt to arrest him
he jerked Snyder's baton from his
hand and knocked him down. Snyder
then drew a pistol and fired five shots
at the belligerent darkey wounding
him in the face, shoulder, hand arm
and back-each shot taking effect
but not inflicting dangerous wounds.
The balls have been extracted, and
Tom is in a fair way to recover.
After a special investigatiun of the
facts before the town council, Mr.
Snyder was exonerated of all blame
in the matter, the shooting having
occurred in the discarge of his duty

Remarkable lacident-A Whole Family
Buried Within a Week.
A remarkable series of deaths by
which a mother and three children
were buried, occurred on Plum street,
last week. - The mother, a widow la

the same grave with two of the chila

A United States soldier ad a negro
who had both evidently been iii bib

A Georgia Tragedy.
From the Albany News we learn
that on Tuesday last a most horrible
tr3gedy and murder occurred on M1
B. 11. Hill's "Mud Creek" plantation
in that county, in which Mr. Rush
the manager, and Paul Butler, a
freedman. working on the place, were
the parties, find both killed. On last
Monday there was adiffioulty between
the parties, in which the negro cursed
the white man, and the latter struck
him. On Tuesday morning, when the
negroes were on their way to the field,
#oine of then came up with Paul
Butler, who had his gun otn his shoul
der. He informed them that it was
his intention to kill Mr. Rush as soot
as he oamei out to the field. Hi
friends argued the matter with him.
and begged him to put his gun awa\
and go to wark, Ile refused to be
gov'erned by their advice, and porsist
a I in his murderous purpose swore he
would kill Mr, R, at first sight. All
hands then went to work except Paul,
his brother len, his relative, Bet,
Wade and his friend, Mose, Holt
the latter three being accounted fo,
at that time. Paul statione:d hiimeli
a short distance fron the laborers.
Mr. Rush rode up, and Paul advanced
towards him, and addressed him with:
"G-d d-n you, you shot at me yes
terday for nothing, and I'm ready
to shoot with you," whereupon, Mr.
Rush replied : "Don't come any near
er tme, stand back." Paul then said,
"You stand bauel." Mr. H. then at
tempted to draw his pistol, ind while
in the act, Paul levelled his gun and
fired, placing forty-eight deadly mis.
siles in the breast, abdomen. neck and
head of his victim-killing him in.
stantly. Paul then ran to his mule,
tied in the woods hard by, mounted
it, with gun in hand, and made oft
towards the "Hobbs P14ce," another
one of M r. [lill's plantations, followed
by the three missing negroes, Ben
Butler, Ben Wade and Moses Holt,
and perhaps some others.
At a gate opening into the Hobbs
plantation they found the dead body
of Paul lying on one side of the gate
and the gun on the other. The top
of his head was blown off and his
face b'irned with powder-showing
unmistakably that he had come to his
death by the accidental discharge of
the remaining barrel while going
through the gate on the mule.
The testimony satiz-fied the jury
that Ben Butler, Ben Wade and
Moses Holt were accessories, and
Deputy Sheriff Brown beirg present
with a posse, proceeded at once to ar
rest all three of them, and they are
now in jail awaitiug examination.
Driven insane by Dreams.
It has been found necessary to take
to an asylum a Detroit lady, who has
been made insane by a dream. Her
husband and one of her sons some
time since were drowned at sea, and
recently she dreamed that her son,
who is a sailor, had been drowned.
In her dteamn she saw him fall from
the mast in a gale in the sea, and
awoke with such a shriek of terror as
to arouse the inmates of tire house.
She slept bo more that night, but.
roeked to and fro, umaning that
"WVilliam was surely drowned, she
knewv he was.'' The next day her
relatives endeavored to banish her
imnpress'on, and almrost succeeded in
eenvitreing her that hrer boy was not
only safe, but would soon be home,
but that night the dream was repeat
ed, and this time the mnother seemed
to follow her boy aloft, and to fell
with him from ette yard, sgain giving
a shriek that brooughrt the house-bold
into the bedroom, they luadinig her on

the New York Tribune, the Rich
mond Enquirer say.;
"That's what we call backing one's
friends with a vengeance. Force the
thieving 'carpet-baggers' .and the
'mrea scalawags' out, and tlie Repub
lioan party in the South will nut havo
white men enongh to fill even half the
post office positions. The only way to
make Republicanism respectable in
this section is by 0 -. i.g ir I inp to the
negroes altogetLer. Uo.., at least,
there will be self-respect on both
.ides. The white-men will respect
themselves, and be respected for show
ing a decent respect to public senti
ment ? and the negroes will be rc
spected as negroes ; and as occupying
positions nece.sary to the public ser.
vice, but whjch no white roan can aa
cept from that party without dishon
or to himself and treachery to his
people?"

Thbe mail station betw'en 13'or Ste

a few days, since, and, despite the
prednoe of a militai-y escort, the

This outrage wasceommitted by a'psf.

B ue Ridge Rall Road Traaifered to
Northern Capitalists.
Railroad circles have been busy
and somewhat lively for a week past,
and several important nm'etings of
railroad won have been held. We
learn that the upshot of the matter is
that there has been effected a sale of
thO State's stock in the Blue Ridge
ijilroad, and that the same has been
transferred to an association composed
of influential citizens and Northern
capitalists, and that there now is a
prospect of something being done to
complete this important enterprse,
which will do so much towards devel
opiug the resources of the State, and
whih will open a way to the rich
country beyond the mountains.,
We learn that a re survey of the
road has aready been ordered, with i
view of adopting the narrow guage
system, now being so generally dis
cussed throughout the country, and
already commenced upon the Tennes
see ; and which has also been demon
strated beyond a doubt, in Europe, to
effect a great saving in expenses, with
equal facilities for all demands of
trade and commerce.--Col. Union.
An exchange states that careful eav
periments on over a hundred subject#
have shown that persons cannot be
chloroformed when asleep. They will
awaken and resist, as in the usual ap
plication, and it cannot be adminis,
tored whhout the aid &f "ne or two
persons. The supposition so preva
lent that persons can be obloroformed
without knowing it, whether asleep or
awake, is the sheerest nonsense,
There have been reports of persons
obloroformed and robbed while in the
cars. Such reports are wholly absurd,
It is estimated that about six mile*
of railroad will be built in New Eog
land each day for the next two
months.
