An Unfortunate Family. Mr. Brundage and family, consisting of wife and seven children, started from near Milledgeville about a year ago, and went to Arkansas to purchase land where they were cheaper, intending to live there. The climate did not agree with him - he was taken sick and died. A short time afterwards his eldest daughter was prostrated and fell a victim; then followed the death of the three sons, grown young men, one after the other. The widow, borne down by grief at the loss of her husband, daughter and sons, her main stays in life, and rapidly declining by that insatiable disease consumption, determined if possible to return to Georgia, and if it was the will of heaven that she was doomed to die, let it be among the friends she formerly knew. She had come on the cars as far as this place, and was compelled to rest a night, and took lodging at the Brown House for herself and four children, the eldest a girl of fourteen, and was observed to be very feeble by the proprietors of the Hotel, who at her suggestion sent at once for a physician. He came, administered some medicine and left her quiet. About 12 o'clock on Sunday night she was taken worse, and another physician sent for. He could do but little for her, as he saw her hours were numbered, and at three o'clock she died, leaving the little orphans entirely among strangers, but who can scarcely be called such, for every attention was shown the sick lady by Mr. Brown's family. At her death, it was supposed she had no money with her, not even enough to buy a coffin. Hearing of this, Mr. Thomas Knight, who has charge of the depot, set to work, and in the course of an hour or two, collected over $30.00 from persons who happened to be at the depot, and gave it to the children to pay for their mother's coffin and their fares to Milledgeville. Where is the heart that does not feel kindly towards the man who from disinterested motives thus lent his services to assist orphans entirely bereaved, Upon opening a carpet bag among her baggage later in the day, $30.00 were found. Mrs. Brundage's remains and her children were sent to Milledgeville on the train last night.

    Ever foremost in the works of patriotism, the Ladies in many parts of our State have presented beautiful Flags to companies who hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment’s warning, as duty may require.  On Friday we had the pleasure of witnessing a presentation ceremony in our town, which was attended by the Governor’s Guards, the Baldwin Blues, the University Guards, and theBlack Spring Rifles, all in uniform, with music and banners.

    Mrs. Mary Rogers of Savannah, Mrs. Carnes, Mrs. Tinsley, Mrs. Harris, Miss R. Harris, Mrs. Matilda Hall, Mrs. McComb, Mrs. DeGraffenreid, Mrs. Latimer,  Mrs. Carrie White, Miss Kate Fort, Miss Sallie Newell, Miss Henrietta Kenan and Mrs. H. Kenan, of Milledgeville, contributed to the purchase and manufacture of a large and splendid Flag of blue silk, on side of which was painted in gilt the Coat of Arms of Georgia, surrounded by a wreath, and on the reverse side, “Black Spring Rifles, January 16, 1861.”
            A large concourse of citizens assembled with the military at 3 o'clock P.M. fronting the residence of Mr. Kenan, on Liberty Street, where the presentation was to take place.  The adjutant General, Col. Wayne, in full uniform on horseback, gave command to the military, in forming the line, and introduced the Rev. William Flinn, who dedicated the Flag by an appropriate prayer.  Miss Henrietta Kenan had been selected by the Ladies to present the Flag, but at her request that duty was performed by her gallant brother, Captain Lewis H. Kenan who stood at the side of his sister.  Owing to the distance, we were unable to hear the address distinctly, and from the same cause we did not hear fully the reply of Captain Thomas White of the Rifles, who received the Flag in behalf of his company.  At a signal given, a discharge of artillery on the Capitol square announced the conclusion of the ceremonies, after which the military marched in handsome style, accompanied by the graceful new Flag which had been the occasion of such agreeable excitement.  Long may it wave a memorial of its fair donor, to cheer the times of peace, and, if need be, to stimulate the brave soldier to deeds of daring on the battlefield!
       The whole affair was handsomely managed, and reflected the highest praise on all who shared in the ceremonies.

The vault unfortunate was not proof against the flames which destroyed the building and a large portion of the public records. - Sou. Recorder.

  Died, at his residence in Scottsborough, near Milledgeville, on the 17th inst., Col. FARISH CARTER, in the 81st year of his age. It is a somewhat remarkable coincidence that he was ushered in and out of life amid the din of war and all its dread incidents. His father, an Aid of Gen. Elijah Clark, had fallen at the siege of Augusta, in September 1780, gallantly fighting for the liberties of his county, and he was born the 23d of November thereafter. Thus was he orphaned before his birth. While he was yet an infant, the Tories made a devastating visit to the plantation of his widowed mother appropriating to themselves its available proceeds and despoiling it of what could be of no benefit to them. They took off all the servants except two, whose advanced age rendered them incapable of valuable service. Being thus compelled to abandon her house in South Carolina, his mother fled, with other friends in the neighborhood, to Virginia. Unable in this exigency, to take all of her five children, the infant was confided to the care of the two aged servants who proved faithful to their trust. At the restoration of peach, she again took possession of her plantation in Abbeville district, and through intervention of her friends, her servants were returned to her. To the subject of this notice she gave the best advantages of education the country afforded. At the age of fifteen, however, preferring the active life of the merchant to the sedentary one of the student, he left the excellent school of the Rev. Hope Hull in Washington, for a situation with a mercantile friend.
  To his great penetration of character, powerful energy, untiring perseverance and indomitable will united with strict integrity, Col. C's great success in life was owing. One of his truest and most prized enjoyments, was his ability to assist young men, honestly and industriously struggling in the beginning of life; and he often referred to their success as a source of gratification to him. In his domestic relations he was much endeared to his family. The unexampled devotion of his wife, children and servants during a protracted illness showed their high estimate and proper appreciation of his kindness and care.
  About two years since he connected himself with the Baptist Church and from that time, no company was so agreeable to him and more desired that ministers of that and other denominations. The loss of sight rendering him unable to read, one of his chief enjoyments was to hear read by his pious and devoted wife the Bible and well written sermons. But enough. Having lived to an age which few reach, he has paid the debt of nature leaving his friends "not to sorrow as those without, hope."

FAMILY GRAVE YARDS
  The heart is softened and improved by communion with the dead, and in no form is it more effective than by visits to private burying grounds, where the sleepers repose among kindred, from the grandsire to the tender infant. Our reflections purse this channel at present, from a walk within the last few days, in company with an esteemed friend, who kindly assisted in removing the leaves which had covered some of the inscriptions, and who enable us to note such as appear below.
   Within the grounds attached to the mansion of Col. Miller Grieve in this city, we examined the last resting place of FLEMING GRANTLAND, Esq.,, to whose tomb is the following inscription:
  Erected to the Memory of Fleming Grantland, a native of Virginia, who died on the 28th of January 1819, aged 29 years, leaving a disconsolate widow and three infant children.
  Distinguished as the editor of a popular journal, and as a Senator in the State Legislature, exemplary in public and private life, possessing genius and enterprise, patriotism and virtue, he terminated a short, brilliant career, admired, beloved and regretted.
  On an adjoining marble slab was the following memorial, which spoke the language of the heart:
  Erected to the memory of Mrs. Anne Grantland, the affectionate wife of Seaton Grantland, and daughter of Col. Thomas Tinsley of Virginia. She died the 10th of December 1823, in the 30th year of her age, leaving a bereaved husband and three infant children. A devoted wife, a fond mother and kind mistress, she had few equals, and no superior.
    Within a few feet are the remains of a sister of Col. Seaborn Jones, and also the sister of Mrs. Fleming Grantland, the epitaph of whose husband has been copied. On the marble is recorded the same ofMrs. Sarah P. Williamson, wife of Dr. Charles Williamson, who died September 2, 1816.
   Passing to another small enclosure, surrounded by a brick wall, about two hundred yards South of the State Magazine, is the grave of George R. Clayton, Esq., the faithful Treasurer of the State for about thirty  years. A small but very neat marble obelisk tells that Mr. Clayton died on the 28th of October 1840, aged 60 years 10 months and 6 days.  Near his side, a marble slab tells that Elizabeth Mildred, wife of George Rootes Clayton died the 7th September 1829, in the 46th year of her age calmly resigned to the will of God. Within the enclosure is the grave of Mrs. Lucinda Carey, who died September 12, 1823, aged 30 years,  and also the grave of Eliza Mildred, daughter of Grimes and Mildred Ann Holcombe, who died August 20, 1829, aged 3 years and 3 months.   A group of little graves, over which there is a small obelisk, recording a sad story of bereavement: Charles Augustin, born January 20, 1831, died Sept. 7, 1833;Leonora Veleria, born Aug. 3, 1829, died Sept 10, 1833; Eliza Mildred, born Aug. 22, 1832, died Oct. 6, 1833 - children of Philip Augustin and Ann Clayton.
     About three hundred yards further South, is a brick enclosure, devoted to the Howard family. - There is a stone vault, on the door of which is recorded, "In remembrance of the interesting John Howard Rutherford, born January 31, 1811, died Sept. 16, 1814."
  A large slab also bears this inscription:
  Sacred to the memory of Major John Howard, born the 4th of October 1761, and died on the 12th April 1822, in the 61st year of his age. He was a plain man, of inflexible integrity, who did equal justice to all people. He was revered by his friends, and adored by his numerous family.
    Within a short space, his little grand daughter is thus commemorated:
    Sacred to the memory of Anna H. Williamson, daughter of Charles and Anna V. Williamson-born Thursday 19th April 1821, an died Thursday 1st August 1822, after a short illness of croup, aged 1 year 3 months and 13 days.
Like the dew of the mountain,
Like the foam on the river,
Like the bubble on the fountain,
Thou art gone, and forever!
   The father of the child rests close by her side, under a very beautiful slab, supported by six finely carved pillars, with an epitaph of some length, showing his character, and also that Dr. Charles Williamson died on the 16th of October 1828, aged 41 years. He was Surgeon in the Creek war, and signed the Hospital report of the killed and wounded at the battle of Calibbee in 1814.

  The first of the above young men, was a member of the Hancock Volunteers, of Col. Thomas's (15th) Regiment, Georgia Volunteers in service of the Confederacy
  Jesse Moran, the other brother above named, was a member of the Baldwin Blues of Baldwin County, and of Col. Dole's (4th) Regiment, Georgia Volunteers.
   Thus, within a short interval of twenty-two days, have both these young men, in the morning of their life, and young manhood's vigour, rendered up their lives, on the altar of their country's independence. Born and reared in the quiet walks and retirement of a farmer's life, and a country's home - trained by the precepts, and example of their parents, to habits of industry, frugality, sobriety and virtue, they passed through, uninjured, all the peculiar temptations, common to youth, and became highly respected by all who knew them, for their many excellent moral qualities, and manly deportment. Long will their death be lamented by their kindred and acquaintances, and by all who love virtue, or admire and applaud true patriotism..........

  Died, in this city, on Saturday evening last, after a few days illness, Capt. ELISHA CAIN, in the 34th year of his age. Capt. C. was taken sick here while on his way to join his company in Macon, the Turner Volunteers, (Hancock co.) where the regiment was yesterday to be organized. He was Captain of the first company that was raised in the commencement of the war in that county, but from infirm health was compelled to resign his command. Under a patriotic desire to serve his country, he lately raised another fine company, suffering, unfortunately, his patriotism to overcome his physical ability to undergo the hardships of camp life-having only been in camp a few weeks, he has fallen a victim to his noble impulses.
  A lawyer by profession, Capt. C. has for years past occupied a prominent position at the bar, and his numerous friends will mourn his untimely death.

  "Your son Oliver rendered his country good service; ready at any time to perform the duties required of him, of a genial disposition, he won the esteem of his officers and the company. He was not inclined to be wicked. I never knew him to use a profane word since I've known him. He died bravely defending the capital of his county. His name will live through ages."

EDWIN FRANCIS JEMISON, a member of the 2d Regiment Louisiana Volunteers, fell in the battle of Malvern Hill, on the 1st July, 1862, aged seventeen years and seven months.
   He was brave and honorable. In the first call for volunteers to defend our rights his noble and enthusiastic spirit was one of the first to respond; and nobly did he, although but a child in years, sustain himself in the front rank of the soldier and gentleman until the moment of his death. Bounding forward at the order “Charge!” he was stricken down in the front rank, and without a struggle yielded up his young life.
  He was early dedicated by a loving, Christian mother, in baptism to God. May he who maketh wars to cease, comfort the sorrowing parents whose boy lies, buried by loving hands, on the battlefield near Richmond.

The deceased was on a visit to his relatives in Texas and Louisiana, at the commencement of the war, when he promptly volunteered and joined Capt. Wise's company of the First Louisiana Regiment, a regiment made glorious by its gallantry and desperate fighting.
  On the eve of battle their war was, "That demon, Butler, and Louisiana." The deceased was first attacked with dysentery, and afterwards with camp or typhoid fever. He was sick in Richmond, Va., three weeks, where he was carefully nursed by an affectionate brother and nephew at a private house. As soon as he thought he was able to make the trip home, he procured a furlough, which relects honor upon him as a soldier, and left for Georgia, the place of his birth, but soon discovered the fatigue of the trip was too much for his feeble frame. He pressed forward. however. and reached home greatly exhausted, where he lingered for then days, surrounded by his mother and other relatives and friends, who administered to his every want, and who procured the best medical skill; but it was decreed by Him who controls the destinies of nations and of men, that he must die-and his spirit took its flight, I trust, to a better and a happier world, on Friday August 8th, at 11 o'clock, A.M.

JAMES F. ELLINGTON, died in this city on the 27th of October, of pulmonary disease. He was a member of the Baldwin Blues, and had been in service more than a year, when he was so enfeebled by disease as to be compelled to ask for a discharge, which he obtained. His fellow soldiers say that he was a true soldier, ever at his post, and ever willing to do his duty, so long as he was physically able to discharge it. He was a soldier of three wars. He served in the Mexican war, and saw much hard service, though engaged in no battle. He was with General Walker in his Nicaraguan Revolution, and while there, no doubt from hardship and exposure, prepared his constitution for the inroads of that subtle disease which terminated his life. He was a printer by profession and one of the thousands of that class who leave the case to shoulder a musket, when ever the country calls. Like all other men he had some faults; but withal he was an honest and peaceable man. "After life's'  fitful fever he sleeps well."

~excerpt~A Tribute to the Memory ofWm. E. Hanna.
  I have received the sad intelligence of the death of this noble young man, my brother and companion in arms, and feel it to be my duty to inscribe a few lines to his memory.
  He died in the 20th year of his age, on the 18th day of July, in the city of New York, from a wound received in a skirmish at the battle of Gettysburg, Penn., on the 2d of July. He was left in the hands of the enemy when the army retired, and was carried to New York where he found a grave. The sad news was brought to his mother and sister by a letter from a member of the 45th Ga. Regt., who was also taken prisoner at the time he was, and who waited upon him in his dying moments. His dying request was, "write to my mother and sister, tell them I die the death of a christian, and death I do not fear, but feel perfectly resigned to the will of God." What consoling words these must have been to their bereaved hearts! Though he died far away from home and friends he died the death of a christian and was  decently buried. Eddie was a dear friend of mine, and the news of his death overwhelmed me with grief almost as though he had been my own brother. For more that two years before the war he was my daily companion, and our love for each other became almost unsurpassable. He was a devoted christian, having joined the M. E. Church in the 13th year of his age, and from his orderly walk and christian character gained the love and admiration of all who knew him.
  He enter the service in the early part of the war as a Sergeant in Capt. W. D. Wood's company from Hawkinsville, Ga. He was a brave and faithful soldier participating in all the battles with which the Regiment was engaged previous to the time he was transferred to the 45th Ga. He received a wound in the foot in the first battle of Fredericksburg, and was sent to a hospital where he soon recovered sufficiently to return to his Regiment. After the Chancellorville fight he was transferred to the 45th Ga. Regt., Capt C. A. Conn's company from Milledgeville, Ga., the home of his childhood, and where his mother and sister now reside.
   Though he was with us but a short time before he received his death wound, he won for himself the love of all his companions, and when the sad news that Eddie was dead, was announced to his comrades, each heart was filled with sadness, and tears were seen to glisten in the eyes of the harvest. His father died when he was quite young, but he was raised by a pious mother, and was all that her heart could wish him to be. The love and pride of his mother, the idol of his sister, it was a severe blow to them to learn that he was dead. May God sanctify the affliction to the good of their bereaved hearts.......

MILLEDEVILLE HOSPITALS
  The ladies have gone to work with their usual energy and success, and have made arrangements to accomodate a large number of wounded soldiers, from the late battle fields in Georgia, and on the Tennessee line. They have dispatched an Agent to confer with the chief Surgeon, and to state their preparations. We understand that Newell's Hall, the large Armory Room, belonging to the estate of Dr. Fort, the rooms above Wright & Brown's Store, and also the Male and Female Academies, have been secured as Hospitals. The use of other buildings will be obtained, if necessary. Committees have gone forth on their errands of love, and have received, and will, as necessity may require, continue to receive, from families and the citizens generally, whatever may be required for the comfort of the wounded defenders of our State. In addition to what may be contributed privately, Messrs. Waitzfelder & Co. have agreed to manufacture cloth ofr matresses at less than the usual price, Messrs. Wright & Brown, will furnish cotton at cost, and Col. Green, Keeper of the Penitentiary will have the matresses made with all possible expedition. All this savors of the right spirit. May Heaven bless the Ladies for their patriotic enterprise.
  We take great pleasure in stating, that the Grand Jury last week, when the subject was proposed to them, subscribed more that $2,000 to assist the Hospitals, and to encourage the fair patrons who devote themselves to the good work in this city. Their example we trust, will have a salutary influence in stimulatng other communities in the same direction. We are gratified to learn that most of the towns on the Rail Roads, are inviting their share of the wounded.

Milledgeville, Dec. 11, 1863
Chronicle & Sentinel
Captain T. G. Raven died at the Milledgeville Hotel, of pneumonia, on Wednesday. He was an Englishman by birth, a man of military education, and he rendered the State valuable service as an Engineer. He married an accomplished Charleston lady, who was with him at the time of his death, and whose inconsolable grief has elicited the liveliest sympathy. The General Assembly adopted the following to the memory of this gallant young officer:
      Information has been received that Captain T.G. Raven departed this life on the 10th instant, whilst on a visit at Milledgeville, connected with his duties. The facts, full authenticated, connected with the brief and honorable career of the deceased, merit from the State an earnest tribute to his memory.
     Capt. Raven was born in England, and was a graduate of the Military College at Addescows. Emigrating to America, he was married to a lady in Charleston, where he embarked and was engaged in commercial pursuits at the beginning of the war. Without a formal transfer of allegiance, he generously espoused the cause of the South, and has with unremitting industry and devotion given to her the benefit of his labors and scientific training. He did creditable service in South Carolina, but learning the great need of Engineers in Georgia, tendered his services to the authorities of this State as one of the Volunteer Staff of the Adjutant General.
      In the capacity of Engineer, he has by his skill, energy and fidelity, secured honorable mention in the last report of that officer. He has been suddenly stricken down by disease contracted in the service of the State, in the very flush of his early manhood. It is for his family and friends  to cherish the remembrance of his private virtues, whilst the State reverently pause to make record of his disinterested zeal and active labors in her behalf in view of the foregoing.
     Resolved, by the General Assembly of Georgia, That we have learned with unfeigned regret, of the death of Capt. T. G. Raven, and gratefully recognize his active and intelligent labors so unselfishly bestowed for the defense of the State,
     Resolved, That, we tender our sincere condolence to the friends and family of the deceased; and request that a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions accompanying be sent by the Governor to his bereaved widow.
     Resolved, That in further evidence of our respect for the memory of the deceased, the General Assembly will adjourn this day at 12 o'clock, to attend his funeral from the Episcopal Church.

BROWN HOSPITAL
  Several weeks ago we noticed the removal, from Atlanta to Milledgeville, of the Hospital for the Militia called into service by Gov. Brown. - The following gentlemen constitute its organization:
Dr. Robert J. Massey, Surgeon in charge.
Dr. Wm. C. Musgrove, Consulting Surgeon
Ward No. 1. Dr. C. W. Stegall, Surgeon in charge, Dr. J. T. Sego, Assistant Surgeon.
Ward No. 2, Dr. W J. Green, Surgeon in charge; Dr. C. W. Duggan, Assistant Surgeon.
Ward No. 3. Dr. A. A. Jernigan, Surgeon in charge; Dr. W. L. Alfriend, Assistant Surgeon.
Ward No. 4. Dr. O. Pinkerton, Surgeon in charge; Dr. G. M. Clements, Assistant Surgeon.
Ward No. 5. Dr. M. Bishop, Surgeon in charge.
  The buildings at present occupied for Hospital purposes are the Male and Female Academies. A large number of new and substantial Tents have been erected under the trees in the yard, and also on the old court House square, which have the appearance of comfort to the inmates.
  Those in charge of Hospital's estimate them in a good condition when not more than four per cent of the patients is lost; but this Hospital has not lost more than one per cent. The capacity of the Hospital is five hundred, and the following are the deaths for the last month:
  J. R. Ellis, Co. B., 2d Batt. - Rubeola.
  J. M. Winn, Co. F. 2d Regt. - Typhoid fever.
  We have observed, with great pleasure, that the Ladies are assiduous in their daily attentions to the sick and wounded soldiers, and have greatly aided the Surgeon in charge in providing every necessary and available comfort. Such kindness and sympathy not only relieve the sufferings of the soldier who has become and invalid by exposure for his country, but his spirit is refreshed, and his patriotism burns more brightly when he sees gentle fair ones ministering to his wants. The ladies of Milledgeville are entitled to grateful remembrance for their successful exertions in the noble work to which they have devoted their energies from the commencement of the war to the present time, - the welfare and happiness of our brave soldiers.

Local Activity.  The removal of the Brown Hospital, with its several hundred inmates, and the presence of Col. Lee's military command for the protection of the Capital, give an air of activity and bustle to which our city is not accustomed in the recess of the Legislature.
. The Hospital has been enlarged by the occupancy of Newell's Hall, Armory Hall, and buildings once known as the Huson Hotel. Most of the officers have taken rooms for business and lodging at McComb's Hotel. The Quartermaster and Commissary have their departments to suit their convenience, and do a good deal of drayage in their line, which adds to the business features of the city. Thus do we experience war at a distance.

Letter from Milledgeville, Milledgeville, Nov. 27, 1864, Editor Macon Telegraph:
Sir:- for public information we drop you a line or two from this point that it may be known what the Federal army has done in passing through this place. The first appearance of Sherman's cavalry in our city was on the 20th; but not more than twenty men first making their appearance. They lingered on the outskirts of the town, cut the telegraph wires, and after inquiring if any of Wheeler's men were here, and being answered in the negative, advanced through the streets with cocked pistols and carbines, seizing horses and exciting no little consternation and alarm. By Monday afternoon Slocum's corps began to come in by way of Social Circle, Madison and Eatonton, and the other division under him by way of Monticello. Sherman's forces came in by the way of Clinton, on Tuesday and Wednesday. The columns visiting Milledgeville composed the 14th and 20th corps, and it is thought numbered some twenty thousand muskets, with corresponding artillery and several thousand wagons. These wagons were mostly loaded with provisions, the army subsisting on what they found on their way in the country.
    The spread desolation broadcast-taking everything in their way. In the breadth of about twenty miles. Corn, fodder, meal, flour, horses. mules, hogs, cattle, sheep, poultry of every description, servants that could be enticed and forced off, and these in great numbers. The last of  the army left on Friday forenoon, destroying in its rear the bridge over the Oconee, at this place, having previously burnt the Arsenal with three thousand stand of arms in it, blew up the Magazine, and burnt the Railroad Depot. The Penitentiary was burnt by some of the convicts, said to the women. The Railroad has been destroyed for about two and a half miles from this towards Gordon and for about four miles from Gordon in that direction.
  We are informed that the road between this and Eatonton was undisturbed, except the bridge across Little river, which was burned with the depot at Eatonton. The State House, the Executive Mansion, the Factory and the Asylum are left standing, though all bu the latter dismantled. The Churches were entered and materially damaged. The only private residences burnt were those of John Jones's State Treasurer, and Mr. Gibbs, formerly Colonel Campbell's. This was done, it is said by a mob of the soldiers, because he was a South Carolina. All his household furniture was burnt, and his silver were taken to the amount of about twenty thousand dollars.  The city being one vast camp, fences became their fuel, gardens and private yards became highways for horses and men; hence, our city now presents a forlorn appearance.
  The materials of the Southern Recorder and Confederate Union were successfully concealed in the country, but some time must elapse before the offices can be again put in operation. We have now no mail facilities except by courtiers to your city.
   As your city has been spared, we hope some method may be adopted by which the distressed with us may be supplied with provisions, as the community are left without food or means of transportation.
  We need not undertake to describe the scenes of the past week. God grant they never be repeated.
R. M. ORME, Sen.
N.B. We hear of a great many private dwellings, gin houses, and much cotton being burnt by the enemy on their different routes; some within sight. Also, that several private citizens were shot. It is, however due to the Federals to say that they respected families in our city, within doors, but at the same time robbed the of all without. In the country, families were frequently ill-treated, and their houses also sacked.
    I omitted to state, in the proper place that the State House and Executive mansion were after consultation on the part of Sherman and other Generals, left standing on the ground that Georgia, within six months, would be again a part of the United States through that action. A staff officer repeatedly asserted that they knew the State would go back. We believe they are mistaken, for judging of the effect of their vandalism on Milledgeville, we believe the State will be a unit, as we are, in increased hatred of them. Loss of property has only united us more closely in determined resistance, even to death.

DEATH FROM FRIGHT - The Southern Recorder of the 19th inst. says: "Our fellow citizen, Mr. Daniel Caraker, lost  a daughter on Saturday last, under rather painful circumstances. His daughter Amelia, about ten years old, with several other children, were out plum and blackberry hunting, and going into the field of Mr. Brown, some one from mischief or a desire to frighten the children, or to keep them from the plum trees, set the dogs after them.
   They became frightened and ran for home; a distance of a mile; the day being hot and the sun shining. Amelia reached home, but was so much scared, heated and exhausted, that she was unable to speak and died in about five hours.
  Let her sad death be a warning to all never to frighten children, especially when away from home. Perhaps no harm was intended, but children never stop to reason when they see a dog coming towards them, no matter the size."

Mr. McCrary was somewhat under the influence of drink, and when so, was inclined to be quarrelsome, and being a man of large size, but few could manage him in a hand to hand fight. From what we learn, Mr. Tucker acted upon the defensive, though there are conflicting reports; but as the case will undergo judicial investigation at the Superior Court of Baldwin for the August term, we make no comments. Mr. T. is held to bail in the sum of $1000. Mr. T. was not hurt.
  Mr. McCrary leaves a wife and five children, the eldest being more than 11 years old. We sympathize with his afflicted family in their loss.

Leroy M. Wiley, the subject of this notice, was born in Hancock county, Georgia, and died at his plantation in Alabama, on the 16th day of April, 1868, in the seventy-fourth year of his age. His father was one of the early settlers of Baldwin county, and died when he was not more than fifteen years old, leaving his mother a widow with six children and with limited means of support. Without education, and thus thrown upon his own resources, he entered the store of the late Farish Carter, in Milledgeville, and by his energy, his faithfulness and activity in business, he soon gained the confidence of all those with whom he came in contact.
  Upon his arrival at manhood, Mr. Wiley entered into business with Thomas W. Baxter, (who had married his eldest sister), and under the name of Wiley and Baxter, and for many years they continued a profitable business in the old store which still stands in Milledgeville, and is known as Wiley & Baxter's corner and belongs to the family.
  After the settlement of Macon, they opened a store on the corner now known as Payne's Drug Store, and owning the entire square, they opened Cotton Avenue. In 1835 Mr. Wiley became associated with the parishes of New York and removed to New York, and established the house of L. M. Wiley & Co., which, under that and other names, continued until he retired from mercantile business, in 1854.
  At the commencement of the war, he promptly removed South, and residing on his farm in Alabama, cast his lot with his section and his friends.
  By his energy and superior skill, he amassed a large fortune, a considerable part of which was lost by the effects of emancipation. Commencing life with a limited education, and without influential friends, and without means, his success may well be posited to as an encouragement to the many toiling, struggling young men who are now commencing life, and ready to be overwhelmed with gloom and despondency. While engaged actively in business, Mr. Wiley was stern and unyielding, and by his strong will generally succeeded in his undertakings. But after his retirement from commercial life, he was affable and eminently social in his habits and disposition. In his intercourse with refined society, nonce could be more courtly in his manners; and in his intercourse with his immediate family, especially with his sisters and nieces, no one was more considerate and affectionate. Two of his sisters having been early left widows in dependent circumstances, he supported them handsomely and contributed to the education of their children. He was never married, and his defects of character were, perhaps, attributable to the fact that he never knew the soothing influence of a wife, or the quiet happiness enjoyed in the bosom of a family.
  Mr. Wiley died of disease of the brain. He was sensible of his condition in the commencement of the disease, and it was painful to notice the struggling of his strong will with the fatal Destroyer. He sank rapidly under it's approaches, and fell quietly asleep under the affectionate ministrations of his nieces and three weeping widowed sisters.

  On the 14th instant a quarrel arose between Newton J. Pugh and John T. Arnold at the distillery of O. Arnold, about 4 miles from Milledgeville, in which Pugh was shot in the left breast twice-. He died in a short time. The reports we hear are so conflicting, that we are left in doubt as to who was to blame. Mr. Pugh was about 32 years of age, and Arnold about 18, son of Obadiah Arnold, Sheriff of Baldwin county. Pugh leaves two children.

Dedication of the New School House in Milledgeville for the Colored Children.
  The ceremonies of dedicating the large and elegant new School House erected for the colored children, in Milledgeville, took place of Friday the 19th inst.
  About 3 o'clock, P.M. a procession of the colored children, numbering over a hundred, formed under the leadership of their teachers at the colored people's Baptist Church where the School has previously been conducted, and marched to the new building.  A large audience was in attendance, composed in part of many of the most respectable and worthy white citizens of Milledgeville. We were pleased to see this class of our citizens thus evincing the proper interest in the cultivation of the minds and hearts of their colored brethren.
  Arriving at the new building, the large crowd of pupils, teachers and spectators were soon comfortable seating and the  ceremonies were opened by an appropriate song (sung by the whole school) followed by Scripture reading by the Rev. Wilkes Flagg, who presided over the meeting; then prayer by Rev. July Dessasaw.Rev. W. Flagg then following by some remarks in the course of which he expressed himself in favor of styling the new building "The Milledgeville School House," and alluded in touching terms to his long attachment to our goodly little city. Then followed another excellent song by the school, and then the dedicatory oration delivered by the Hon. Iverson L. Harris, late of the Supreme Bench of Georgia. We will not attempt to follow this learned jurist and eloquent orator in his train of felicitous remarks. Suffice to say they were exquisitely appropriate to the occasion, and displayed a proper zeal for the intellectual and moral cultivation of the colored element of our population. Interspersed through his remarks were many gems of sound practical advice to the sable young citizens of the great Republic- "words fitly spoken-apples of gold in pictures of silver."
    Then followed an admirable address to the school by the Rev. Mr. Rockwell, the Superintendent of this and other similar schools in Georgia. This address was in every respect excellent, and in thorough harmony with the occasion.
   Some motions were next introduced which were gleefully adopted by the dusky happy-faced urchins-by the Rockwell, thanks to the Baptist Society for the use of their church building as a school house for three years-by Capt. Bell, thanks to City Council for land on which the new school house is erected, and to all the citizens who kindly aided in its erection; and some other motions of a similar character were put and promptly passed.
   The new school house is large, and is most commodiously arranged. It is divided into large single rooms with elegant walnut seats and desks. and blackboards surrounding the entire rooms. Between these is an excellent recitation hall. These three rooms, and a handsome vestibule, constitute the interior of the building. From the rear of the building is a most picturesque view of Fishing Creek and the Railway bridge across that stream are visible. In front, the white tombs of the cemetery preach to the eye, and to the heart, the transitoriness of human life.
    Among the numerous white gentlemen present we heard but one sentiment-that of pleasure at the progress of our colored friends along the pathway of intellectual improvement. The colored people owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Rockwell and to the faithful and efficient corps of female teachers and the citizens who have patiently labored for so great a length of time , sowing good seed for which, in the harvest time of a just God, they shall reap no ten, nor fifty, but "an hundred fold."

He was seen to strike her, and she turned and went to the store of Mr. Joel where she was hired, and as she got there, fell, having been cut in the left breast. She died in about half an hour after being cut.

 Milledgeville has at present eight schools, only two of which have prominence. Misses Rockwell, Horton, Hurty and Mrs. Orme, teach a small number of pupils each. Miss Davidson has a larger and better appointed school, and is one of the best fitted teachers I have met. Messrs Carrington and Roberts have, the former a small, and the latter, a large private school.
  We should like to meet these teachers during the coming August, at the Educational Association in Atlanta, and concert measures by which efforts many be consolidated, and two enterprising Academies charter in Milledgeville.
  Miss Cotting, daughter of our late State Geologist, and sister of our present Secretary of State, now teaches a school extremely ill-fitted to her capabilities.
  At Midway, the old Academy building is rapidly disappearing into the kitchen fires of the neighborhood, while near at hand, the Freedmen's High School stands completely furnished and appointed throughout!
  Oglethorpe College stands like the doubter of old, halting between two opinions. Something in regard to its future will be decided at the Trustees' meeting in about five weeks.
  There is rather more stir in Milledgeville just now, than in the other localities I have visited. S & R. A. McComb are still proprietors of the excellent hotel, adjacent to the Capitol Buildings.     EARNEST

THE PENITENTIARY - We learn that Mr. Thos. Alexander has leased this institution for a term of years. The convicts will be employed, at present, on the unfinished portion of the Macon and Augusta Railroad, lying between this city and Macon. Col. Walton, late Principal Keeper, is, we understand, retained in the institution by the State, the other officers being dispensed with.
 HOT WEATHER - The weather for a week past has been hot - "red-hot" - the thermometer keeping well up between 90 and 100, and all efforts at keeping cool, even with the assistance of the excellent soda water at Mr. Clark's Drug Store, proved a failure. Last night, however, we were blessed with a refreshing shower, which was grateful the feelings of mankind and beneficial to the growing crops.
  MACON AND AUGUSTA RAILROAD - We learn that Mr. Thos. Alexander commenced work on this end of the road yesterday morning with the convicts now remaining in the penitentiary, about 50 in number. Some two hundred more convicts, now at Rome, will be added to his force during the week. We understand that other contractors will shortly commence work, and we can now confidently look forward to the early completion of this road to Macon.

STORM - On last Wednesday we had quite a wind and rain storm; the wind was for a time terrible, blowing down and wringing off the tops of many tress and also taking down fences, &c. We are glad, however, to record that it did not extend to Midway. What the damage above us has been, we have not learned. The corn was laid low, but we hope to no great extent.
  Our streets were badly washed from the flood of rain, and we hope the City corporation will give them an early attention, especially those that are much used.

    BURNED TO DEATH. On Friday night last, a colored woman, by the name of Ann Blount, was burned to death, in this city, by Kerosene oil. She was using an old lard lamp, which she had filled with Kerosene to give her light while engaged in quilting. While thus employed she overturned the lamp in her lap, the oil spreading over her clothing, which in a  moment were in a blaze, and the poor woman was so badly burned that death ensued in about an hour. The  Coroner's jury, we learn, returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts. No person should forget that the careless use of Kerosene oil may result in the most frightful consequences.

Residence of Prof. Bates Burned
  We are sorry to see from the following in the Milledgeville Federal Union, that our  friend Prof. Bates, of the Oglethorpe University, has met with misfortune:
   Fire in Midway.- We regret to learn that the residence of Prof. Bates, in Midway, outhouses, etc., was entirely consumed by fire on Sunday last. The fire broke out on  he roof of the building, and so high was the wind, and so very dry the roof of the house, that the flames could not be arrested. Most of the household furniture was saved.
  The violence of the wind prevailing at the time greatly imperiled other houses in the vicinity. At one time, one of the out-buildings on Col. McAdoo's premises was actually on fire from a spark borne through the air fully 200 yards; but the promptitude of that gentleman in ascending to the roof enable him to extinguish it speedily with his own hands.
  The dwelling which was consumed was a part of the property of Oglethorpe College.
