They have bad whisky in Columbus. Last Sat
urday a negro youth drank quart, and it
killed him. The Enquirer also gives an ac-
count Of the voluntary surrender of himself TO
the police Of that city, Of young white man
who drank whisky, and it made him steal
horse. He seems to be this individual who went
20 the livery stable in Griffin some time age, and
stating that he was sent by the owner carried
on and sold a horse and buggy he hap
pened to know had Just been put up there. He
also had laudanum in his pocket to kill himself,
but, on reflection, concluded not to do so. He
gave hi, name John W. Yerdiu, anu said his
iatler lived ten miles from Griffin.
The Augusta Chronicle states that Sang
Amor (cOlOredl, who was respited by the Gov
ernor last month, will be hung at Crawford
wills next Friday. He says that the sooner the
thing is over the better for him. He talks very

Oathe fi0orin front OF him, while he nerVously
clinches and unclinches his hands. He is a
most abject looking picture.
Colonel Cole has purchased the franchises,

Tor visiting Atlanta.
The Milledgevile Herald suggests that the
managers OF the Exposition appoint Con-
Tolerate survivors day, and invite Jefferson

Inc Athens WdfchBldH gives an account Of
correspondence going on between Hon. Jas.
4 Smith, Of OglethoTps, and Mr.. F. w. Ruck-
sr Of Athens, which. it thinks, points with
some emphasis to the code duello. The cor
rsspoadence was Occasioned by articles in the
L. 81
latter gentleman, rejecting upon Mr.. Smiths
Management Of the State prisoners. The
#atctH,aH understands that the injured gen
temau has invited his opponent to meet him
On the Carolina shore. but that mutual friends
ere busy at work 20 heal the breach.
