HORRIBLE OUTRAGEs.-The Macon IGa.)
Telegraph gets off the following capital burles-
que upon the pretended outrages in our sister
State:
The Atlanta Constitution advertises for an en-
tire new stock of Georgia outrages-the old
ones being worn out in the service. We can
| furnish but few and will charge nothing for
| them.
The dastardly spirit of the Georgia Ku Klux
was recently displayed near Vienna, in Dooly
county. George Washington Lafayette jenkins
and Ben Simmons, two loyal Africans included
in the Fifteenth Amendment, were lately shot
in the rear with double barreled gun charged
with mustard seed, while walking through
George Jones' premises. Jones claims that ne
heard his chickens "holler" and fired in the
dark in the direction of the coop. But such are
the stale pretences of the Ku Klux to excuse
their bloodthirsty assaults on the colored race.
How.long will Congress submit othese assaults
or defenceless citizens?
In Murray county Hon. Jim Pepper, while
Searching for aigs," on James Browns place,
lost his little finger in a steel trap The excite
ment among the colored population of Murray
is very great, anda fearful and just revenge is
threatened. A representation of these facts
has been laid before Sumner by the Hon. jim
mel Pepper. Few people are aware of the des-
perate and murderous state of feelings in Muir
ray county.
On Saturday in Decatur, while Pilgarlick
Sooty, Esq, a highly respectable colored man
and Justice of the Peace, was procuring some
corn from the crib of John Jones, set upon him
with dogs, supposed to be of the bloodhound
variety, who pursued Mr.. Sooty with great fe-
eocity, and actually tore away the hinder part
of his breeches, on the public road. Thus re-
spectacle man cannot pass on the public high.
way in Decatur except on peril of his life, and
this under the fifteenth amendment and re-
publican administration. The miserable de-
fence set up in this case is that Sooty was sur
pfised in the act of stealing corn, and Jones
called the dogs off as soon as he could: But
when was a rebel known to tell the truth
A horrid state of things exist in Lowndes
county. A large number of negroes are not
now to be found in that county who were
known to be living there some time ago. Traces
of blood have also been detected in various
parts of the county. These two circumstances
combined, leaves no doubtthat m1rderous work
has been going on. The Ku Klux insult our
intelligence by stories about beef shooting, but
they cannot quiet the horrid rumors aloat;
How long shall this bloody work be permitted
in Georgia.

WoMANLY MoDEsTY.-Man loves the mys-
terious A cloudless sky. the full-blown rose,
leave him .unmoved, but the violet which hides
its blushing beauties behind the bush, and the
moon when she cmerges from beneath cloud,
are to him sources of inspiration and of pleas
ure. Modesty is to merit what shade is to
figures in painting--it gives its boldness and
prominence. Nothing adds more to female
beauty than modesty; it sheds around the
countenance halo of light which is borrowed
from virtue. Botanists have given to the rosy
hue which tinges the cup of the white rose the
name of maiden blush" This pure and deli
cate hue is the only paint Christian virgins
should use; it is the richest ornament. A wo-
man without modesty is like a faded flower,
which difuses an unwholesome odor, and which
the gardener will throw from him. Her desti-
ny is melancholy, for it terminates in shame
and repentance. Beauty passes like the flower
Of the albo,. which blooms and dies in few
hours; but modesty gives the female character
charms which supply the place Of this transito-
nv freshness of youth.

CosT OF THE LATE WAR.-A Confederate
medical officer has estimated that the whole
number of Confederates killed during the
war was 53,773, and, including those who died
by disease, the number lost was 100000. He
says the whole available force of the Confede-
rates from the first to last was 100000. MIR.
Geo. 81. Stuart, in a lecture in Philadelphia,
stated that the number of men enlisted in the
Union army during the war was 2,ooo,0555;.
The number of commissioned vessels was 731,
and the number of colored soldiers 1880.
The total number of men in service when Gen.
Lee surrendered to Gen. Grant was over mil
lion. The government spent for the maintain
hundred millions of dollars. The cost of the
South cannot be computed The expense of
the slave property and the crops which were
lost are computed at five thousand million dol
lars in gold. Mr.. Stuart stated that the pro,
portion of the South for the national debt had
now to be paid, and will make thousand mil
lion dollars, causing the aggregate loss to the
South to amount to fully six thousand million
dollars.

RAISING ToMAToEs.-It may be worth while
for our farmers to read the following account of
the French method of raising tomatoes. 1t is
clipped from an exchange: .,
As soon as cluster of flowers are visible, the
stem is topped down to the cluster, so that the
flowers terminate the stem. The effect is that
the sap is Immediately impelled into the two
buds next below the cluster, which soon push
strongly and produce another cluster of flowers
each. When these are visible, the branch to
which they belong is also topped down to their
level, and this is done successively. BY this
means, the plants become stout dwarf bushes,
not above eighteen inches high. In order to
prevent their falling over sticks or strings are
stretched horizontally along the rows, so as to
keep the plants erect. In addition to this, all
the laterals that have not flowers, and after the
fifth topping, all laterals whatsoever, are nip
ped off: In this way the ripe sap is directed
into the fruit which acquires beauty, size
and excellence unattained by other means.

The Growth of Atlanta.

A correspondent of the Columbia Guardian
racily sketches the growth and prosperity Of
Atlanta, Ca, in the following communication {:
Atlanta is a prodigicus place, and Is very
rapidly growing "more So" Bustle and 6usl-
ness with consequent thrift is the order Of the
day; and every man here, like a tub, stands
upon his own bottom And this leveling prin-
ciple is practically illustrated daily in the
streets by the hundred Of laborers seen digging
down this hill and filling up that ravine to Gre
ate street. Fifteen months ago, I was in At
lanta, when 1 saw an immense gully running
through portion of the city, and apparently
threatening to engulf the adjacent vacant lots.
To-day the hill sides that then lay near that
gully are levelled, the gully filed up, and upon
# runs street firmly solid under foot, and on
either side comfortable dwellings and one hand
some mansion.
Last wear, over /, 200 houses were erected in
Atlanta, and to-day over 200 are being built.
DR. Thompson's old hotel, which everybody has
seen that ever passed through Atlanta, has been
sold with its lot of 180 by 110 feet for SIC, 600
cash, and now the entire lot is being dug out
for cellar from four to ten feet deep; and
while fifty laborers are shoveling out the base
ment and almost as many carts and wagons are
hauling off the dirt, the stone masons are rapid
" building the foundation of a mammoth hotel
guaranteed to be ready for the reception OF
guests at the fair next fall.
Thousands of dollars are to be expended up
on the fair grounds, and already hundreds OF
workmen are employed in one way or another
to make the fair magnificent success.
Atlanta has many objects of attraction be-
side the mere hustle of growing city. The
rolling mills, where tons of railroad iron are
weekly prepared for the track, are worth a days
Journey to see; the paper mills, machine shops,
and other mechanical enterprises, all contribute
to make this city grow daily in wealth and pop
ulation and chief amongst its attractive fea-
lures is the Skating rink, where old and young,
little and big, go to while away few hours at
ter tea in most delightful manner. This is
an amusement innocent, healthful and attrac-
tive Attended with music, the exercise is
beautiful and pretty woman skating grace
fully is as captivating sight as an accomplish
ed female equestrian.
The Atlanta "rink" has another charming
feature apart from supplying the public with |:
very popular amusement it cost about $4,000,
and in six months time paid for itself. Cannot
enough enterprise be mustered up in Columbia
to build skating "rink?"
What is the etymology of the word "rink p
Atlanta in 1860 had a population of about
10000. To-day her census calls for over 25, 900.

Mr.. Warner, carpet-bag Senator from Al
ALBANIA, in his speech on the Georgia bill, ar
gued that the Republican party could only per-

he said, was to-day in more danger from the
bad men in its ranks than it was from the reb-
els.

pretty way has been brought to great perfection
by French women. The other day two "dear-
