The gain for the same month this year was $8,068. A most encouraging fact truly.” The Savannah Advertiser says : The steam ship* United States, Montgomery and Magno lia, for Now York, and the Wyoming for Phila delphia. sailed for their respective ports yes terday morning, with the following umouuts of cotb'U : Magnolia, 1,422 bales ; Montgomery, 1,603 hales ; Wyoming, 722 bales. Thomas O. Jackson, says the Sparta Jour nal, referred to in our last, charged with rape on the person of a colored girl, had a hearing before Jadge Simmons, ou Friday last, and was committed for trial in October. The privilege of hail in the sum of $5,000 was al lowed, but failing to make the required bond, he remains in jail. Mr. Tom Cox, says the Rome Commercial, an old and well known citizen of tho town, died on Thursday night last Tom, while he had, perhaps, many faults, was more an enemy to himself, we believe, than to his fellow-men. It is said, to his praise, that many of the widows and orphans of our city owe him debts of gratitude for timely aid often rendered them, without money and without price. F. M. Grove, of Monroe county, says the Bamesville Gazette, died on Tuesday morn ing, 20th instant at bis residence. He was found near the road on Sunday evening last some four miles above Strouds X Roads, his head badly bruised and his buggy not far from the same spot It is supposed his horse ran away with him. threw him from tho bnggv, and the fall was such as rendered him speechless ever afterward. Tho Columbus Sun of the 23d says : “A fiddler and a guitarist from Italy’s sunny clime, ortho streetoorners of New York, came in yesterday. There may he more “instrumen talities" iu the party for aught wo know.— Peace is certain when they come. A New York paper some time since aunouuced that it was the general intention of all this class of musicians to make a Southern tour this winter. An old negro put in an appearance at Ma con on Wednesday, stating that he had walk ed fifteen miles to reveal a vision ol tho angel of the Lord, who had told him that the end ot all things was at hand, and the wrath of tho Lord in the shape of a “kormit,” as he called it, with a mighty tall or fire and brim stone, was Cuming, and to get a commission from the right man to go into all the world and preach the end of time. The Internal Revenue clerks put him through, and gave him a document of commission bearing seven teen seal*. The Thomasviilo Enterprise says : Mr. Robert Daniel brought to our sanctum yes terday, several bolls from a new kind of cotton fouud on his father's plantation in Brooks county, lie says the staple is very tine, but its peculiarity consists in several bolls grow ing together from the same stem, and produc ing from four to s*x locks of cotton in each.— One of these clusters shown to us produced sixteen locks of cotton to three bolls. If properly managed this may become the most prolific cotton in the country. The Gazette says Bamesville is gradually improving by the help of a few liberal public spirited men whose want of capital alone re strains them from rapidly building up the town. We are still having unprecedented dry weather. We ar._ having the best of weather for gathering crops, and our farmers are tuuk ing use of the opportunity.

Lo»|. ft* stifft-A *U»r Specimen of »n Mlton Boil-Tht StaalUo of m Loflc»l Argo. M»t UUet, Grant. The Atlanta Constitution opens a diatribe spot General Lon^efreet with this parsfiaph ; “ W« thank our Radical neighbor for hie wild personalities. They (tho 1 wild personalities ’) are ever the refuge of defeated argument, and need no reply." Much as tho Constitution is givcu to redun dant personalities, It gives some faint promise of referm—it ootaaliy protests again t “wild personalities ! Well, one fault is Uss objec tionable than both; and with more experience, let us hope, will disappear tho rodundaut use of the Ego from the editorial efforts ol our im personal coteuiporary! “Argument," aocording to the exaiupi i o; our neighbor, consists in assuming that a thing isirue;aud then—frantically repeating that assumption! Thus, iu the next seutenco oeedmg the one above quoted, it is us*timed that, “ Lougstroot undoubtedly deserves Radical support. Ho has bartered much for it, uud at much as ur condemn his purchased npostacy, ire would uot wish him the harm of losing the good word of bin now allies.’’ It is uot improbable that Gen. Longstr duly appreciated the gonerou* concession the last clause of the above paragraph ! The “argument” will take care of itself ! So let’s grot that the urea planted \ ) small. I Cot- any politic il rights, privileges or immuniti*>i Therefore, was Geuerul Longstreet a “weak champion who left adversity iu the ranks of his own army to fatten upon th« dirty garbage of apostacy!” Finally, recognizing the unselfish spirit iu which this truly bravo and noble {man immo lated himself, in tho interest of Peace, and in behalf of the bravo (but humble) men who comprised the rank and file of his then dis banded army—men who had followed him through the perils of a four years war, and who had Mood by him on a hundred battle fields—the Government relieved his political disabilities; and Gen. Grant, iu tho magnanim ity of a true soldier, and with the pciception and sagacity of a true statesman, tendered him the appointment of Surveyor to tho port of New Orlrans. Gen. Longstreet, having a material body which, like those of other men, demanded occasional material attention and comforts; and having, like most men of his age, those dependant upon him whoso bodies wor»* likewise material, and who were not therefore (any moro than the families of other men) independent of material wants and equities, accepted this appointment: The fora, has Gen. Longstreet “left adversity at e cost of honor 1" Now, will the Constitution torn to a copy of Burn’s poems, uud after a careful reading ot “Tam O’Shan ter," sing tho following dox- ology : > wad Boiuo powt r tho gif t.> «io hr “But ire may, in all houesty, be allowed to form our own opinion of our deserters. ( Mi- rabilf dictuf) And highly as the enemy (enemy to whom?) esteems them, ice say now, it is an unavailing labor to restore them to tho lustre of ft good name forfeited for n price, while they arc reveling in the very luxury of its (here supposed to refer to “prioe") enjoyment amid genernl misfortunes incurred iu fidelity to principles the renegade has tossed away for money.” (Now let tho reader pause an olyse the last clause of this ponderous teuoe, begiuuiug with “while," t tc!) Bat to proceod: “Yes, Doctor, (this is not a “wild personal ity"! ) defend your recruit, in common grati tude; but in common sense (a commodity pe culiar to impersonal editors!), leave single privilege of keeping tho lino drawn be tween impoverished and uupurchasable integri ty, and the weak ohampiou who left adversity in the ranks of his own army (disbanded May, 1865), to fatten (April, 1869) upon the dirty garbage (au appointment by President Grant) of apostacy (advocating peace aftor the surren der), at the eost of honor." (“Honor,” in this connection, may mean “accepting the sit uation” with a meutul reservation—that is, an outward acquiescence iu the decision, but an inward purpose to evade or violate it—or it may mean rothiug;tbo latter, most probably!) Bat to the concluding paragraph: “In mercy (an attidne of tho Supremo Be- ing) to the unfortunate, (because he has the confidence of his Government?) man, whose past good (an unfortunate admission) you have very prettily depicted, call as little attention as possible to the contrast with his late shame’ (in accepting a Federal appointment.) This is the Constitution’s article—ever; word of it—gotten up ut the cost of much brain oudgeliug.iu refutation of the facts stated in these columns a few days since. We re produce it in obedience to a promise to pub lish the editor's best, on Gen. Longstreet, whenever he might conclude to give us hi best! It is certainly a rigid piece of logi« throughout ; and, upon thoso who may be able to comprehend it, cannot fail to make lasting impression! Tho “argument” may be summed tip as follows Gen. Longstreet was the first among South ern mi ll tn Ailvocalo peace through tho oulj channel whereby peace might be had ; there fore, is he a “recruit” of those who advocated peace, by tho same means, at a much laU day ! lie advocated re-union and settlement, in 1866, upon the basis of the (the >) proposed XIVth Amendment. He did this k >wing full well that, whil't that would restore the rank and file of his (late) noble army to all the rights and privileges of a forfeited citizenship, it world exclude him from .those rights and privileges. Therefore, was lie a “rein radc, prompted only by st ilish motives and in-oirei by a traitor’s reward ! When this proposition was rejectee fo reasons which no clear headed Southern mm will now assign, Gen. Longstreet accepted the next best tiling, to wit, the Shorman Re construction Act. Ho did this knowing that, whilst it would eulranchi.se nine-tenths of the bravo men who followed him in battle and also those who crewhilo wero his servuuts, it would nevertheless leave him (as all fellow soldiers were then) wholly without coining into market quite rapidly, and prices are declining. Nearly all the mills i the country have suspended operations until i rains. The “oldest citizen” says ibat there has uot been such a dry sj ell at this time ol the year siuce the fall of 18 /J, when it did uot rain from the first of An ust until the middle of November. Tho Telegraph, sprakiug of affairs iu Fut- nara county, says: Fatnam county planters hope tho county will make as much cotton as last year. Tho b«*M crops are those of plan ters who cultivated well And intelligently, and manured highly. Fertilizers pushed ahead the cotton and made a good «arly crop—nil persons certify to that fact. Unmanured lands have very poor crops—com crops pretty good--streams nearly all dried up—very few mills can grind—agriculture is the absorbing subject with tho people of Putnam—lands have enhanced in v.du.j — more demands than offers for sale—village ol Kaionton is improv ing, a very nice park is to be made of the large public square, and an excellent brass and siring band is mudo up of the musical talent of the village. People through the country are permanently and handsomely improving their places, beautifying and planting nurse ries, vineyards and orchards. The Macon Telegraph of Sunday, says: A gentleman just returned from New York, who lias had great experience a* a cotton buyer, and has really done nothing els** since the war closed, informed us yesterday that tho plan ters of the South were now playing into the hands of speculators most admirably, in rush- iug their cotton on the market. It was just what the New York buyers and speculators wanted. Three weeks ago cotton was firm in New York at 35 cents per pound, but just so noon as tho planters got ready to sell, tho price immediately receded to 29 and 30 cents, w:th » strong effort on the part of the bears to still further reduce it. Our friend staled that that there was not a cotton buyer iu New York, of any intelligence or reliability, who does uot believe that cotton will go to 35 or 40 cents per pound in that market, by or be fore the first of next M iv; mid they candidly id openly express such an opinion among >ollsh notloi i blunder free thdusclvou; and are laughing in their sleeves at the rush the planters are now making upon the market. .TMd- Secretary Sherman has directed the t mmauuiug General ot tho Military Division of the Pacific to forward, under the proper « scori, all men now maintained in the State Asylum of California, who were or are soldiers, and who may have become insAne since their entry into the service of tho United States, to tho Government Hospital for tho Insane in the District of Columbia, where they will be eared for under tho act of Congress of March 3, 1863. In the Boston groat orgau is a stop called “Vox huroana.” A countryman having hoard said organ and tho frequeut mention of said stop, was asked on his return from tho exhi bition how ho liked tho big organ. Uo an swered very well, but what struck him most was a certain stop, he believed they called it “Nux voiuicu.” Cincinnati in < ,, . , fri vouragmg a Meteorological Society.

Tho ‘ Democratic" papers are never weary of predicting the downfall of the Republican party. There wi re to be great Democratic gains iu Vermont. The election over, it is found that tho Democrats havo not only not gained, but have lost. Tho result in Vermont is dropped by the Democratic papers, and uo allusions to it nre heard. Maine was the next State to bccouio tho ob ject of Domocrutio predictions. In Maine Republicanism was “played out,” aud the olcction was to result in a signal triumph of the Democracy, who were to rule things with a high hand. The sosult was to be such an utter demolition of the Republican party as would show tho world that tho Republican party was doad, and tho Doniocrucy well and vigorous. Tho election came. Gov. Chamberlain was elected by u majority of eight thoimwi over the two opposing candidates. The “split iu tho Republican party” amounted to but little. Adding tho Republican votes re ceived by Uichborn to Chamberlain’s majori ty R,,( l the Republicans show a majority ovor seventeen thousand, aud this on a popular * *“ thousand less than last year 1 demolished party!

Our old nnd valued friend Dr. Warren Slone, of New Orleans, has our thanks for val uable medical documents. Drs. Moss, Cbop- piu, Beard and Briokell, have also placed us under similar obligations. Such remembran ces remind us of the good old times which have past away never to retarc. A Hi tler Political Ton*. There is a better feeling obtaining through out this portion of the South which wo believe will be the source of the greatest good. It is a disposition to do away with that political bitterness which has so long oporuted against the welfare of the Southern people, aud to in augurate a new political era in which, although principles will not be sacrificed, purty lines will be less rigidly drawn, and proscription on account of political opiuiou be done away with. Iu uo State is this spirit so evident as in Virgiuiu and in the Walker party. We have seen many things we have liked, and have said so openly, regardless of tho suspicion express ed by many that the Walker men were but playing a part in order to deceive the adminis tration. We endorsed the principles proclaim ed by Walker and his followers, beoause they were principles we believed to be right—Uni versal Suffrage, Universal Amnesty and Loyal ty to tho Government of the United States. If they are sincere in their professions ot devo tion to these principles, aud show their sin cerity by their acts, we endorse that party now. If they yield to bad advico, we shall denounce them. Thus far we havo seen nothing to cause ns to doubt the sincerity of the Walker party, or, as they call themselves, the National Republi can party of Virginia, aud wo are willing to take them at their own word, and accept their actions so far, as evidences of that better spirit of which wo apeak. Since the war, Southern politics have been proscriptive and intensely bitter. How bitter, is too well known to need relating. The Vir ginians, by burying tho dead issues of the past, and adopting liberal and fair principles, have given a tone to Southern politics, whoso effect, if fostered by the continued examplo of Virginia, will leaven tho whole political lump. As an evidence of the progress of this senti ment, we quote tho following from the Rich mond Enquirer, which has been a most in- tensely “Southern” paper: TI1E MIDDLE O BOUND. Wo have sorao times thought that we, ol tho South, aro too prone, iu our estimations of Northern opinions, to make out only two classes of political views—tho fierce Radical and uncompromising Democrat It. is likely dial we overlook a middle element of North ern s ociety -one which properly appealed to aud considerately regarded, would prove in tho end, perhaps, to be the most powerful of all. There is a large class of Northern men, we havo every reason to believe, firmly and unalterably devoted to the Union, who, part ly by our own mismanagement and partly from the timidity which is the natural com plexion of oonBervatism, is found in opposi tion to tho South, but which would gladly extend to ns the right hand of fellowship, and rejoice to see all the States gathered once more under the icgis of tho Constitution if, consistently with their views of tho situation, and in accordance with their estimate of duty to their country, this could be done. These men say, and say truly, we believe, that amid all the heat and excitement of our terrible struggle, they never allowed themselves to become estranged in feeling from their breth ren in the South, and would rejoice exceei ingly it they could bury forever evory memcl ry of the fratricidal conflict, except that sad yet priceless experionco which alone can pre vent a repetition of tho. e fearful scenes. The above wo know to bo true. There ar6 of course exceptions, but the great majority of tho Northern people have no feelings of bitterness towards the Southern people, and never had. Even when tho war was raging, they fought but to preserve tho Union and were uninfluenced by haired. The same admission as is made above, is also becoming true of Southern politics. The Republican party has uo feelings of hatred to wards those who oppose it. We believe that our principles arc right, and therefore en deavor to ensure their triumph. But we hate no man because ho thinks differently from what we think. Wo concede to all the same right as wo de mand for ourself—tho right to think as they please and vote as they please. If they vote against our party wc will not hate them, but allow that they have a perfect right to vote as they choose. Wo will endeavor to defeat them, aud will use any fair means to do so, because |we wish to see our—and we believe the better —principles govern. There are many men who aro beginning to Isce the truth of these statements, and who are being governed by similar principles. Abetter feeling and returning business confidence are already perceptible as tho result. With the Hsc of good feeling there will be an in of prosperity. ^Haro willing to do our part of the work of Ibringing it abont. — Kuleigh (K. C.) Standard.

The politicians of Goorgia are sorely per plexed by the position of tho State Legisla ture on the question of the restoration of the expelled negro members. We think we re cognize tho hand of n veteran in the commu nication of “Georgian," which appears in tho Atlanta New Era, nml respectfully suggest that tho counsels of this old patriot should bo heeded. Ho rightfully maintains, judgment, that the State Legislature is fully competent to decide npou the qualifications of its members, but it may bo a grave ques tion whether it is expedient to insist upon maintaining this right in opposition to the influential ineu who rule at the national cap ital. Last December. Mr. Butler, together with rnauy other leading Republicans, urged that “Georgia had violated her obligations, and failed to carry out in good faith the reconstruc tion acts of Congress, inasmuch ns tho Legis lature of tho Stato had organized with tho ne groes in their seats, edectcd Senators and many other officers, transacted much of the necessary business of tho State, and then, upon grounds purely of race and color, ejected them from their|rightful places." Mr. Boutwell, when iufonnod that the Legis lature ot Georgia had uuder consideration the resolutions referring the question to the Courts, said : “II was glad of it, and that if tb« colored mom I rs wore ro-instated it would settle tho qncsti n fiually.” President Grant, for similar reasons, for- boreji) press against Georgia the onus of her alleged offeiiso, prcfe^Ting to await a voluntary and literal compliance with the acts of Recon struction. Tho question presented to Georgia is, “can sh« afford—is she prepared—to run a tilt with Congress and the giaut leaders of tho’Admin istration? We sav nay.
