TOWNSVILLE, Ga, April 16.-Information
received to-day confirms the statements
made yesterday, Of the purpose Of large
band of negroes in Florida to rescue the four
murderers to be executed here to morrow.
Four hundred are reported to have left
the vicinity of Monticello, in Jefferson
county, from where they were to march
directly for this point. This body was in
communication with the negroes here,
and by this means their project
has probably been frustrated. Re-
ports We're purposely circulated here
that the Governor of the State had ordered
several companies of infantry from Atlanta
and Augusta cavalry from Macon and in
fantry and artillery from Savannah, which
were to rendezvous here certainly by to-
morrow morning These reports were
at once transmitted to the proposed
invading and rescuing force by special mes
sengers, with the desired effect of lettering
them in their purpose.
Two white military companies are under
arms here tonight, and the approaches to
the Jail are strictly guarded. Excite
ment still runs high, but it is the belief Of
the authorities that the execution tomorrow
will pass off quietly. Struggling gangs OF
negroes are reported coming to town to
night from all directions, but without any
arms that could be seen. In order to guard
against any surprise a number OF videttes
on horseback were thrown ont tonight in
the direction from which the invaders are
to come.

II seems to be the fashion now for
some of our people, when fire occurs,
to stand around with their hands in
their pockets and wait for the Hook
Il Ladder and Fire Company to come
and put out the fire. They do not
seem to have one particle of interest
in the matter, unless they are in the
range of the fire and in danger of being
scorched themselves. Such conduct is
.reprehensible in the extreme. Every
man that is able to work should lay
hold and help. Carry water, pull a
rope to assist the Hook q Ladder mei, !,
carry out goods, do anything you can
to help and protect your neighbors,
for you do mot know how soon your
turn will come and your property be
consumed by the devouring element.
While the above Is true, and we say It
with sorrow, there are many of our
citizens who are always at the front,
and do all that men can do to put out
fires and save property For good
ness sake, fellow citizens, don't trust
TO the firemen to do what is imposs
IDLE, and then blame them because they
cannot do It. FBfl3 GS

rise to considerable dispute, in sport

for the killing of prairie chickens, for
purposes of profit, between the lst OF
December and the 10Th Of August fol-

shooting Of the game for home use,
or the shipping of one dozen per day,
providing the shipper will make an
davit that they are not sold to parties
receiving them.
