Founraa thousand partridges have been shipped from Greensboro', N. 0., to England to slock the preserves of the nobilily and gentry of that country. Tim speeial eleotion held in the 23d Congressional District of Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, for a Representative to Con gress in the plaos of Mr. MoJunkin, de ceased, resulted in the choice of the reg ular Republican candidate, Col. John Thsinpaon. At the municipal eleotion in Mobile, on Monday, a colored Deuiooratio Club, called the "Blaok Belt Tigers," worked with much industry and seal, and was largely instrumental in securing the heavy majority for tho tegular Democratic ticket. Anotiub Constitutional amendment was proposed in the House of Represen tatives on Tuesday, by Mr. Lewrenoe, of Ohio. It proposes to bar all claims against the United States, unloss present ed in pursuance of law by the claimant within ten years after having legal right and aapaoity to do so. How about a treasury note that has run for teu years 7 Wn learn from the Washington Repub lican that the caucus of Radical Senators, held on Monday, did not come to any agreement on Louisiana affairs. The point of disagreement appears to have been the recognition of Pinohback as Senator. The Republic)in says that the next caucus will deolare that the Kellogg government is entitled to recognition, but will not recognise Pinchbsok'a claim. That will ba drawing it flue for a party that professes to ignore distinctions on aeoonut of race or color. Thu Selma Argiu slates that there are 51 prisoners in the jail of Dallas county, Ala., all of whom are negroes. As Dallas county has a negro population four times as large as tho white population, and gives a Itadioal majority of five thousand votes in elections, and ns every judicial or executive officer in the county is a Radical, it eanuot be olaimed that the jail ia full of negroes because of discrim ination agaiust them in the execution of tha laws. It should be remembered, too, that for offenses of whioh the negroes are oftener guilty than any others—laroeny— imprisonment in Alabama is now virtual ly abolished. Politicians who are con stantly harpiug upon the lawlessness of the whites of the South would do well to consult the jail statistics. tralian eolonies. Adding 810,487 tor New Zealand, wa bars 2,186,129, the popula tion of the Australian oolonies. In 1861 they bad bnt 1,266,482. There is muoh food for speculation in lhaae figures. They show the rapid growth of oolonies that are destined at no distant day to form au important part of tha world's industry, civilization, progress and power. They indicate the early establishment in the South Bess of an empire or republic as distinct from older nationalities as the United States were from European governments after tha achievement of our indopendenoe. There la every reason to believe that their growth will continue to be as great and remarkable as that of the United States, and that the late abodes of the unlettered savage end brutal cannibal will soon be the seat of science, refinement and moral and material powsr. The British colonies in North America never had such rapid growth in oiviliaad settlement as the great islands named above have had within tha last twenty years, nur has our growth at any time bean ao rapid. No doubt oar young men of to day will live to see the time when Australia will num ber ten millions of people, and the conti nental island will be the seat of a com. zneroe aad industry attractive to all the world. We oan hardly doubt, too, that it will then be an independent nation, either monarchical or republican, and as a mili tary power will command tha respect of the oldir nations. The European popu. lation ia now so largo as to be seoure against attaoks of the aborigines, and the latter must retire and disappear before the advanoe of tba white man aven more rapidly than the North American Indiana have retired. The frontiers of the white settlement will extend from year to year until it opens up the whole territory—rioh in both soil and mineral—to the millions of European emigrants seeking homes or fortunes in a new oountry. Everything points to the early building up of a great and independent nation in the South Seas. COTTUX BAiaira. Hon. Wii-son Williams, Judge of Pro bate of Lee county, Alabama, and Ste phen Tucker, Esq., late Clerk of the Cir cuit Court, were arrested at Opelika, on Wednesday, by U. S. Deputy Marshals Williford and Randolph, on a charge of violation of the Enforcement aot. The oharge has some connection with the iste eleotion in Lee oounty, when the county offioers refused to open two boxes at Ope lika, one on the domand of the fiadioals for negro voters. They were carried to Montgomery, where they no doubt gave bonds yesterday. 686B6IA NEWS. -The corner of Broad and Molutosh streets has been selected as the location of the Confederate monument in Augusta.

Cher can cottou an ZAiaxn at a morrr and SOLD AT plant- mo PbOrtrABLB AT TBS SOUTH WITH PBM -JABOar—MUST IA SOX MENTATIONS BE abandonedr . —--Sh We are induced to make the above en quiries from results given us of the pro ducts of the farm of Moses A Hoff, known as tha Thompson piaoe, about two miles from Columbus. This plantation haa raised this year eighty bales of cotton of 500 pounds eaob, on 200 acres of land, with sixteen full hands aad ton nialea. It raises its own oorn, most of its bscou, makes its own manors, and sells more oats and other produce, outside of cotton, than pays its incidental expenses. We have seen a close calculation made of the year's business upon an actual set tlement between the partners, and the result shows that Mr. Jos Huff, who has the entire management of the place, be sides getting his living off of the planta tion, has, as the result of his year's labor for bia half of the products, forty bales of ootton, of good quality, at a coat of Ajj oents per pound. Major R. J. Moses baa forty bales at a cost of 7} cents, the difference of two cents per pound being tbe amount allowed by him out of his share for the personal supervision of the plantation by bis partnar. There ia no allowance made in this cal culation for interast on tbe investment or wear aod tear of stock. The profit, be tween Sj and 13 oents, constitutes tbe interest,hnt valueing the plantation, 1,000 acres, stock and anpplies on hand, at #20,000, aod allowing 7 percent, interest, tbe cost of Huff’s cotton would he 9f oents. Wa state the oost of Huff’s ootton separately, because that ahows what cot ton ought to oost the frugal farmer, who snperintenda his own business. mow is this done ? Mr. Huff is always attending to his bu siness. He makes his own oorn snd most of his meat. He buys no manure, but economises everything on bit farm that oan be converted into manure, keeps his lots well littered, and gives bis whole atttention to his business. No allowance is made for wear and tear, beoause the plantation shows an annual improvement, and the stock looks as if it had not done a day's work in the twelve months passed. . Besides these results, the plantation shows twenty-five acroa planted in oats for next year, and ona hundred aores of stubble land turned over for the winter freezes. The piaoe is near Columbus, where doubters can see for themselves, not only that everything is in perfect order, bnt that the eighty bales of ootton now piled up at the farm, have been raised at 5} oents per pound. Thu laws of Mississippi give tbe mem bars of tbe State Legislature a fixed sal ary of #500 a year. Nevertheless, the negro Legislature called together last week by Gov. Ames voted its members #7 per day extra besides mileage. This session wav called to take Vicksburg in hand for defending itself against an army of ne groes oolleotcd from the surroundiug oountry.

Mooanvo Aoqoman o# onotnms or 1XSANITT—HB NSCAPES THOM CUS- „todt. Wa gather the following from a letter dated Marianna, Florida, Da earn bar Slat, (Monday) : On Baturday night, DeeambuT 19th, the jury in the ease of E. W. Mooring, charg ed with killing his youag brother-in-law in Marianna, Florida, several months ago, after a trial of three weeks, brought in the fallowing verdict: Wa, iha jury, find the prisoner not guilty, because tha prisoner was insane at the time the homi cide was perpetrated. [Signed] J. W. Gaines, Foreman. This verdict was dated Deesmber 19tk, Tbe jury was composed of six white aud six colored man. Counsal for the State: Han. George 8. Hawkins, Judge Bush aud Mr. McKenxie. For defence: Oa). T. W. Branard, of Tallahassee, Capt. W. Young, of Vicksburg, Mist., Col. MeOIel- Ian, aud Maj. Milton, of Marianna. The statute of the State makes it the duty of the oourt to send a prisoner in such cases to jail, to an asylum, or to de liver him to his friends oa their giving a suitable bond. After the verdict was raoeivad, the oourt remanded Mooring to his place of confinement to ba brought Up Monday morning to reoeive final aantence. Saturday night about 11 o'clock, the bailiff who had tha prisoner in charge states a very lafga man entered the loom; and with drawn pistol, while confederates remainod outside, demanded that Moor ing be released. The prisoner got in a buggy, wbich was in waiting, and drove off. Early Monday Mooring was overtaken in Alabama in tha boggy by himself, 18 or 20 miles from Marianna, and refused to retnrn, and is still at large. During the sessions of the court night sessions were not held oa account of a physioien’s certificate that the prisoner was in exceedingly delicate health. Our correspondent thinks bia health must have been restored vary speedily. tlasry. Tackling Gen. Toombs on the re-onset- ment of the usury laws, the New York Journal of Commerce eaya: There oannot be cited a single inatanoe of their enforcement in our time any where, exoept as a cover to the most shameless roguery, or at any rata a# an evasion of an equitable obligation. They are a dead letter all over tha world exoept as an instrument of injustice in the hand of tha dishonest or fraudulent debtor. If enforced in this State they would con vict and shut up in prison as a criminal overv man who aooommodatod his poorer neighbor in a season of pressure, and who thereby saved him from insolvency. They violate the plainest principles of equity and fair dealing, sod authorize injustice and villainy. ANNOUNCEMENTS. FOR COUNTY OFFICER, For Tax Collector, CAPT.
