The Sp.irta Journal cays: “The continued
drought has iqjured the cotton more serious-
ly than we anticipated. It is opening very
rapidly and picking has begun, i he farmers
complain of short but and small bolls. The
August crop is a failure. The blooms very
sparse, and they tall off after becoming bolls
in almost every instance. Instead of two-
thirds of a crop as we opined last week, many
planters say they will not mako a half crop.—
We think the average wit] be less than two
thirds, even with good seasons and a propi
tious autumn. Fertilizers will not pay as
great a p« r cent, as usual, but euough
doubt not to encourage their continued u
ufacture and sale.”

importance, which should, first of all, oooupy
the attention of the Legislators at its next

rumor as s firet-olam humbug, whioh will end
in empty sir. Any movement In this direction
would be highly detrimental to the political,
social, and material interests of the common
wealth Our people want political quiet and
repose. Impeachment means revolution, aud
as stated heretofore, (in these columns)
shall oppose any steps looking to such a del-
eterious result.

Advice”—How Received—The Ira and
Ike Republican Parly—Keif file System
Adapted.
John Wesley once asked a friend for his ad
vice as touching the feasibility of some cher
ished enterprise. “Why should I give you
my advice,” said tbe friend, “seeing you
sever follow it ?" Tbe great Methodist ex
plained that be had consulted a number of
his friends upon the same subject, but \
out any preconceived purpose to follow the
advioe of either. His purpose was to get the
views of all, and therefrom deduce an opinion
of his own upon whioh he should aet. In this
way he hoped to make tbe advioe of his friends
profitable, without adopting the extreme views
or rejecting tbe sensible conclusions of any
particular party.
This is an excellent method in politics no
less than iii theology. We like to advise with
friends upon all topics of interest or schemes
of importance. We invite rather than avoid
friendly advice and counsel. But this does
not imply that we mean to adopt, as a whole,
the counsels even of oar ablest and most valued
frieuds. We prefer the eclectic plan ; that is,
to hear all, and from the good of all, form an
opiuion aud plan of our own, and then aot
upon it. This implies no disrespect to any,
indeed none is ever iuteuded ; but it does
enable us'to arrive at that “golden men
which always intervenes between the two
trciues. Hence the moderation of the Eua,
and hence its disfavor with extremists of both
factions.
There arc those who seem to think that the
ditor of a party journal should have no opiu
ms of his own; that In- should move only us
he is wrought upon ; and that hence he is for
tunate who can succeed in transmitting his
views aud plans (in the form of “advice”) to
the party through aome automaton of an
itor ! Time wan. in certain sections of this
State, when such was supposed to bo the re
lation which the political journal sustained to
its party ! But that was a custom which be
longs to a Past epoch. For the very reason
that the Era is tho organ of the Republican
party in Georgia, it cannot, without a
gross betrayal of its trust, become the
organ ot ar.y individual man of that party.
And tbe reasons whioh render it wise aud ex
pedient for its editor to invite tho opinions
aud advioe of all true men of the party, make
it both impracticable and impolitic to accept,
as A whole, the opinions, plgus or advice ofuuy
ot these counsellors. Nevertheless, their
Advice is always courted; to the end that we
may profit by that whioh seems to us good,
without in any way obligating ourselves to ac
cept what, in our judgment, is not so good.
In other words, we make tho same use of the
‘Advioe” of our frieuds (whether given vo un
tartly or under solicitation) that we do of our
exchanges—we select what suits uh and let
the rest go!

To the Intelligencer.
Col. Blodgett, who is still Chairman of the
8tate Central Committee of the “Radical par
ty ” in Georgia, is now the special object of
your friendly offices. Until quite recently,
you spoke of him as “a purjured man," a
“scalawag of a low degree,” and au adventu
rer with whom no white man might associate,
or **no Georgian” countonanoe, without for
feiting his patent of “respectability !” A fejv
months since, when you were the echo of a
certain Augusta pape r in its denunciations of
Col. Blodgett, some of yonr old time friends
indignantly spumed tho insinuation of
yonr enemies that you would, ere long, seek to
becorno tho personal organ of this “chief of
Scalawag Radical*!” Time bus proved that
your enemloe knew you belter than we did.—
The files of the Intelligencer for two years
past teem with the lowest personal abuse of
this man. That record, yon have never re
tracted, explained or modified. Col. Blodg
ett is the same uncompromising “Radical"
now that he waa then. Ho is even yet the
Chairman of the Radical State Central Com
mittee, as he was tkeo. Jio is open and un
compromising in his advocacy of “negro suf
frage” now, as ho was thin; and he is still n
“Radical” in all the essential and non essen
tial dements of that faith ss he was then.—
He has not changed. Ho has not gone to the
“Detnocraey”—that is quite evident.
How happens it, then, that you, a Demo
cratic journal, have becorno so snddonly en
amored of Foster Blodgett, Chairman of the
Htete Central Committee of the Repnbliosi
party In Georgia ? And, under this stato of
facts, how can yon justify yonr anger al the
Constitution for insititietlng that you have
left the VemotrmM* party and gone over, boots
and breeches, to the “Radicals r Do yoa
really mean to deny that yon are now seeking
fall membership in the extreme wing of the
Republican party ? If so, how do you explain
yoar sadden phange of attitude toward CoL
Blodgett? Was the Intelligencer sinew a

Tkc New Cotton Crop—Fin* Proapeet for
thv Sooth.
A few bales, and the first, of the new cotton
crop have come to the New York market.—
That from Georgia, classed as low middling,
was sold at auction for thirty-six cents a pound,
and thAt from Alabama, classed as strict mid
dling, brought forty-eight and a half cents.—
These, iUa true, may he termed rather fancy
prices, asuio first bale or two of the new cot
ton crop always bring more than those that
come alter. But it is au indication of what
the prico will be hereafter. We may conclude
therefore, that the crop of 18G0 will realise
immense sum oi money. This crop is vari
ously estimated—between two millions and
half bales to three millions—probably It may
reach two millions seveu hundred or two mil
lions eight hundred thousand bales. If the
average price throughout the season of sales
should not exceed tweuty-flve cents a pound
though from present appearances it will be
higher than that—the crop will be worth
two hundred millions of dollars.
From all tho light before ns there is reason
to believe it will bring nearly that sum in
gold. This production, too, is in addition to
the tobaeoo, sugar and other valuable crops of
tbe South for exportation. Besides, that sec
tion cf the country since the war has paid
moro attention to the raising of grain,
and other articles of food, and is now, per
haps, independent, or nearly so, of ontsido
supplies. Iu short, tho South this year will
huve a surplus production to be sold for cash
over and above the production of necessities
worth, at least, two hundred millions of dol
lars. Who will not say tho South is becom
ing rich again? We must admire the wonder
ful recuperative power of the people there and
congratulate them on the splendid prospect
they have of material prosperity. With more
labor and capital to develop their resources
the Southern States will become very soon
the richest country on the globe.— N. Y. Her
