in
Atlanta Constitution, 19th.
Yesterday we bad a short con Versa
rvdrttiAi W . A. Brown, of tins
city, relative to' the great cocking
aVn nYt month at New Orleans
tf0oT. i states of Geonria and Ken
tucky. Colonel Brown, it is generally
known, will be the leading represents
Hva nf th state of Geonria in the mam.
He has recently returned from Colum
bus, Ga- where he has been on a visit
to his brother, Mr. Charley Brown, who
is a resident of that city. Colonel Brown
says that already
ONE HUNDRED BIRDS
of fine plumage and in the very best of
nnnditioriliave been nicked out. 1 rom
this dumber eighty of the most superior
birds in every respect will be selected.
These will be earned to New Orleans,
where the fighting is to take place. The
fowls have been' upon walks in Macon,
Anniata and Columbus. Mr. Charley
Brown isnow: in Macon collecting to
gether such birds, as Jie, will need. As
fast as the chickens are picked up from
thwr walks in the various citieB men?
tioned above they will be shipped to
rvinmhii Tn a dav or two Mr. Cnar
lev Brown will commence handling his
fowls and putting them in good fighting
nnnditinn.
Th handling will all be done in Co
lumbus :and each bird will be sparred
so as to find out which are the fastest
and best fighters. To prevent them
from hurting themselves their spurs
will be sawed off, so as to leave; a snort
butt upon which will be fastened buck
sKin muns, simnr tu uuAmg giwcn.
TRANSPORTING THE FOWLS.
The chickens, eighty in number, will
leave Columbus February 12th, m a.
special car for New Orleans. The birds
will all be in coops and 'each one will
have a special apartment of its own.
Mr. Charley Brown, with a njttmber of
assistants, will also be in the car for the
purpose of jriving every attention to
their pets. Upon the arrival of the car
at New Orleans the birds will be car
ried to the Louisiana cock-pit, one of
the most noted in the South, and espe
cially in New Orleans, where there is
always a large amount of cock-fighting
going on. Here the conditioning of the
fowls will be continued until the day
of the opening battle letween the States
that are contesting for the honors of
the occasion.
From the eighty birds the Georgia
oartv will show and fight thirty-one
nocks, and Kentucky will come uh to
the scratch with a corresponding num
ber. The remaining birds, after making
the selection of thirty-one to be used in
the main, will be fought rh various
wavs and for various sums of money,
It is the intention of the gentlemen
who reoresent Georgia in the main to
fight or offer to fight every chicken that
they carry to New Orleans. They have
no desire to bring any of them back
home, as they have hundreds still left
in our State upon wmcn tney can draw
at any time. It is thought that the
fighting will continue several days,
probably an entH(8?eek:, after the main
is ueumeu.
THE INITIAL BATTLE.
The first battle of the main will be
fought Thursday, February 20th, and
the . fighting will be continued Friday
and Saturday. Sunday no battles to be
included in the main will be toognt,
MondajHhe remaining fights witt-take
place, and the main will nd upon that
clay.
Each battle will be fought for a sum
of 8250 a side, and upon the deciding
fiarht each side will wager 2,o00.
In this main 2 inch drop-socket
steel gaffs will be used. The birds will
be trimmed of all useless plumage, so
as to make them fight as light as possi
ble. tod at the same time to keep them
from getting over-heated while fighting.
The birds fought will range in weight
from 4-10 to .0-2. These weights.are
considered by cock-hghters to make the
nest fighting fowls.
- PITTING THE FIGHTERS.
Mr C harley Bro wn. of Columbus, Ga
wili handle and pit the Georgia fowls;
lie has had mncn experience in tnis
line of business and is said to have no
superior.
Mr. Tom O'Neil, of Louisville. Ky.,
assisted by .Mr. Tom Moore, of Crab
Orchard, Kv will handle and fight the
Kentucky fowls. Each of these gentle
men, it is said, possesses a large amount
of experience in the practice' of fighting
chickens.
The main will close the day before
Mardi Gras. and it is thought that the
sport will be witnessed by the largest
audience that ever attended a similar
entertainment In New Orleans. Those
who arranged the main to come off just
before Mardi Gras have selected an ad
mirable date, as at that time the city of
New Orleans will be crowded with vis
itors, and in consequence of this the at
tendance upon the main cannot but be
very, large.
A Beautiful Story. .
A touching begging story fvith a good
, moral, is told by the , Pittsburg 'tele
graph: A young man who had been
on a three days' debauch wandered into
the reading-room of a hotel, where he
was well known, sat down and stared
moodily in the street Presently a lit
tle girl of about ten years came in and
looked timidly about the room. She
was dressed in rags, but she bad a sweet,
intelligent face that could scarcely' fail
to excite sympathy. There were five
persons in the room, and she went to
each begging. One gentleman gave her
a five cent piece, and she then went to
the gentleman spoken of and asked him
for a penny, adding, "I haven't had any
thing to eat for a whole day." The gen
tleman was out of humor, and he said
crossly: "Don't botlier me; go away! I
haven't had anything to eat for three
days." The child opened her eyes in shy
wonder and stared at him tor a mo
ment, and then walked slowly toward
the door. ' She turned the knob, and
. then after- hesitating a few seconds,
walked up to him, and gently laying the
' five cents she had received on his knee,
said, with a tone of true girlish pity in
her voice, "If you haven't had anything
to eat for three days, you take this and
go and buy some bread. Perhaps I can
get some more somewhere. The young

Gov. Vance is one of the leadimg

of resource, of power, of eloquence, of
cultivation, of peculiar magnetism.
What we have said has been prompted
by the following passage from the edi
torial referred to above in the Press :
"Gov. Vance has popular talent and a
vivacious nature, which qualities, united
to a sense of injustice done him in the
past, have given him at home a large
personal following. But he has not the

More Emigrants.
Charleston News and Courier, 20th.
On Saturday morning last another
batch of emigrants for Liberia arrived
in the city by the .Northeastern Kail
road train. -The party, consisting of
two men, four women:arid ten icluldren,.
hail from Fremont, Wayne county,
North Carolina. They had heard of the
return of the Azor and came without
notifying any of the Grand Moguls "tof
the L. E. A., and consequently met with
no warm reception at the depot or head
quarters in Exchange street in the rear
of the post-office. It required three
wagons to carry from the depot the nu
merous articles brought with them,
such as pots, kettles, jugs, bedding and
everything useful to tlie ordinary coun
tryman. After waiting for over an
hour in the street, and attracting around
them many curious persons, one ol the
shining lights of the L. E. A. appeared
and opened the door of the veteran
building. The wagons were unloaded
and in a short time the empty room had
the appearance oflan overstocked tene-
ment . The would-be emigrants don't

Tney came down Diindiy and appear to
be satisfied to wait. Up to ' a late hour
Saturday evening none of ' them had
paid up the 837.50 passage money.' So
far about eight or ten negroes from
Georgia have engaged passage. The
money has been placed'in bank as welj
as the money paid by any who desire to
secure passage, and in the: event of a
failure to seenre the required number
of passengers will be faithfully return

Louisville, Ky., Feb. 16, 1877.
Mr. H. E. Stevens:
Dear Sir Three years ago I was suffering terribly
with Inflammatory Rheumatism. Our minister's,
wife advised me to take VEGETINE. ' After tak-;
ing one bottle, I was entirely relieved. This year,
feeling a return of the disease, I again commenced
taking it, and am being benefited greHtly. It also
greatly improves my digestion.
Respectfully,

SAFE AND SURE.
Mr. H. R. Stevens:'
' In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended to me,
and yielding to , the persuations ox amena,
I consented to try it At the time I was suffering
from general debility and nervous prostration,
superinduced by overwork and Irregular habits.
Its wonderful strengthening and curative proper
ties seemed to affect my debtlltaied system from
the first dose; and under Its persistent use I rapid
ly x-ecovered, gaming more than usual health and
good feeling. Since then I have not hesitated to
give Vegetine my most unqualified indorsement,
as being a safe, sure and powerful agent In promot
ing health and restoring the wasted system to new
life and energy. Vegetine is the only medicine I
use; and as long as I live I never expect to find a!
better. Yours truly, W. H. CLARK,
120 Monterey Street. Alleghany, Penn.
VEGETINE
The f Dllowing letter from Rev. G. W Mansfield,
formerly pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church,
Hyde Park, and at present settled In Lowell, must
convince every one who reads his letter of the won
derful curative qualities of Vegetine as a thorough
cleanser and purifier of the blood.
Hyde Park, Mass., Feb. 15, 1 876.
Mr. H. R. Stevens:
Dear Sir About ten years ago my health failed
through the depleting effects of dyspepsia; nearly
a year later I was attacked by typhoid-fever In its
worst form. It settled In my back, and took the
form of a large deep-seated abscess, which was
fifteen months in gathering. I had two surgical
operatiods by the best skill in the State, but receiv
ed no permanent cure. I suffered great pain at
times, and was constantly weakened by a proiuse
discharge. I also lost small pieces of bone at dif
ferent Umes.
Matters ran on thus about seven years, till May,
1874, when a friend recommended tne to go to
your office, and talk with you of the virtue f vege
tine. I did so, and by your kindness passed through
your manufactory, noting the ingredients, &&, by
which y ur remedy is produced.
By wait I saw and heard I gained some confi
dence la Vegetine. . ' ,. . . ,.,
I commenced taking It soon after, wit felt worse
from its effects: still f Dersevered. and soon felt it
was benefitting me m other respects Yet I did not
seethe results I desired Oil I had taken It faithful
ly for little more than a year, when the difficulty In
the back was cured; and for nine months I have
enjoyed the best of health.
I have in that time gained twenty-five pounds of
flesh, being heavier than ever before in my life, and
I was newer more able to perform labor than now.
During the past few weeks I had a scrofulous
swelling as large as my fist gather on another part
of my body.
I took Vegetine faithfully, and It removed It level
with the surface In a month. I think I should have
been cured of my main trouble sooner if I h;: d tak
en larger doses, after having become accustomed
to its effects.
Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or kidney
disease understand that it takes time to cure
chronic diseases; and. if they will patiently take
Veeetlne, it will, in my Judgement, cure them.
With great obligaUons I am

To man's Illusion given,'
Once on a time. In another Hemisphere, "Man's
Illusion" was checkmated and fanaticism stamped
out in the Holy Wars of the Cross vs. the Crescent,
(the Crusades). Two million men were killed and
a pyramid was erected from the bones from one
battle-field alone, near Nieve. by Solvman. as a
monument to their fanaticism, and the Saracens
drank beer out of their skulls. Since then, fol
lowing the Reformation, In Christian conflicts (so
called,) fifty million more were slain " aU by Di
vine appointment," making probably In all, 100,
000,000 who have victimized themselves to their
faith. Peter the Hermit had nothing to do with
the latter conflicts. He had Peter'd out some Ume
previous. The present Hermit who runs the
"RISING SUN"
Is pleased to say that he has received his stock
since Christmas, and has now on hand FERRY'S
