The Macon Telegraph has seen a commission which ia age, at least, outranks all other commissions in the State, it was issued by "Thomas Hutchinson, E:q.; Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief, in and over His Majesty’s Province of Massachusetts’ Bay,” to "Thomas Aspinwall, Gent’n;” making him ‘-Captain of a Military Company of Foot.” The document closes as follows: "Given under ray Hand and Seal at Arms a* Boston, the 10th day of September, in the Eleventh Year of the Reign of His Majesty King George the Third, Annoque Domini 1771. This makes the commission one hundred and two years old to day. The Thomas Aspinwall, who no doubt was msde happy by being the possessor of it, was the grand father of Mr. T. A. Brewer, of Yineville, (who is now an octogenarian), and the great-grandfather of Mrs. It. A. Benson. The commission may be seen at the office of Mr. B- H. Wrigley.

The news from all parts of Cbcrokeo country is to the effect tjat the caterpillar is playing havoc with the cotton crops. Already has tbe cotton suffered damage to a considerable degree from these worms and the Advertiser is of the opinion that when a true estimate of the actual crop is made there will be a fall-off of 25 per cent, from tbe estimate warranted by the prospects in the month of July. From our ex changes we notice that a like calamity has befallen this crop ia many other sections of the country.

Now. there are men of high research and high reputa tion who announced some months ago that there was flowing between this continent and Europe a current of air as palpable, as power ful and as ever-present as the Gulf Stream in the ocean, which would, when balloons were placed in its influence, sweep them safely and swiftly to any destination they might seek a&ofegits route. This current the managers of the Daily Graphic determined to attempt to find by ac tual experiment, aud their first balloon was the outgrowth of this determination. The bursting ot tbe first balloon was due to a mischance that the sagacious mind could hardly have provided against, and we confi dently await the complete success of the second and wiser attempt. We are pleased to see newspapers gradually turning their attention from tbe dirty discus sion of politics and political rognes to the pure and pleasant questions of science and of social advancement, and devoting their sur plus energy to the attainment of nobler and more usefal ends than aiding in the election of a blatant demagogue, or scotching the progress, of any Ciesar. The New 1’ork Herald, taking up the unac complished work of half a dozen English expeditions and finding the lost Livingston amid the sands of Africa, and the Graphic seeking the solution of a problem that has puzzled the scientific world for half a century, are more pleasing pictures of journalism than the New York Times whipping with barbar ous savagery its political pimps into ranks, or the New Y’ork World engineering its doubtful schemes of Democratic warfare. THE NEW YORK. FINANCIAL TROUBLE. The general tone of our dispatches, pub lished elsewhere, indicate that the financial crisis has practically terminated. The prompt action of the bank Presidents in deciding to disregard the reserve instructions, and to is sue loan certificates, as also the closing of the Stock Exchange, have doubtless materi ally contributed to a termination of the panic which has reigned in Wall street for the past four days. These measures, backed by the Government purchaso of ten million of bonds, cannot fail to restore confidence, their liabilities without difficulty. MARCEL’S PORTION. We did not receive the continuation of “Marcel’s Portion” in time to publish it this morning, but the novel will be continued in next Sunday’s Herald. The story is draw ing to a conciusion, and when it is finished we shall begin the publication of another serial, which, wo venture to say, will attract the interest of the reader from the first chap ter to the close. A Desert to Become an Ocean- THE JAMES EXPEDITION IN THE COLORADO WASTES—LANDS WHICH MAY BE MADE WORTH $100 PER ACRE — THE COLORADO “BORE.” A letter from California contains the fol lowing : “engineers James and Purdy, who for some months past have conducted a survey of the Colorado Desert to tho Gulf of California, arrived here on Sunday last. The expedition was fitted out by capitalists, bat its real object is now clearly understood. “The ostensible purpose is to turn a por tion of the Colorado desert into a great salt lake, that the climate of the rest may be im proved; and the land made valuable. The real object of the enterprise is believed to be the survey of large tracks of land in tbe so- called desert, which tracts are to be purchased from the Government at a low rate, and their value increased by irrigation. The capitalists who are behind the expedition certainly have not been expending their money pro bono publico. Laud is valuable ia southern Cali fornia. Moist or irrigated land is worth from $2o to $100 per acre. “My own opinion, after collecting informa tion from various sources, is that a small in land sea is to be formed, but that a much larger portion of the desert is to be taken pos session of for irrigation and cultivation. The explorers aro reticent, as it is not their desiie to expose their plans now. Their progress through the desert was attended with hard ship and danger. For ten days they were confined to bread and water, or rather flour and water, and for three days they subsisted entirely on pig weeds, which they prepared as greens. The heat was torrid. One day a bird fell panting into Mr. Purdy’s hand. That gentleman took it to the edge of a pool, the poor bird laved itself, was revived, aud flew away rejoicing. “For the first two or three days alter aban doning the wagons at the Point of Hocks at Hardy's, Colorado, the explorers found the Indians friendly, but they were soon obliged to briDg their Sharp’s rifles iijto requisition to inspire respect. The Indians, called Coco- pahs, are divided into two tribes—the valley and the mountain Cocopahs.

It is not improba ble that at the bottom of tho whole trouble is a clique of bears who having now reaped the harvest they expected will aid the government and tho banks in flooding tho market with money, so that stock may go up and enable them to realize handsomely. Bat that there never was any danger to the commercial interests is to be seen in the fact that while railroad and other stocks were tumbling, prices in mercantile circles were scarcely affected. It is very true that in sympathy with the financial convulsion cotton declined in New York, but there was no break in prices, the decline being compara tively slight. From the very start we have insisted that there was no real danger in the New York troubles. Outside of the moneyed rings and swans’ down with rattles of rattlesnakes inter twined in their hair. They live on bread made into flour from which the mesquite bean which grows plentifully in tbe desert, is ground up, and also on fish which they catch in the salt water lagoons branching from the Gulf. “There are some popular errors about New river, which have crept into tbe maps. The Colorada river at Aldegones, about sixteen miles below Yuma, overflows its banks, and the stream which runs from it and which flow's into New river at New River station is confounded with New river. One of the most interesting natural wonders of this section is the ‘bore’ of the Colorado. The spring tides of tbe gulf rise to a height of thirty feet, and this expanded volume ofc the waters of the gulf is coincident with tbe spring floods of tbe Colorado river. When the two meet they form what is called a bore. The waters of the river rushing impet uously to the gulf basin, swell to such a vol- umo as to overflow the high banks of tho cliques, but few persons are likely to be af- ' stream. At the same time the spring tide fecled. We predict now that within ten ; come3 roaring up the Colorado.

It is intended to in clude in the projected volume not only the two chapters of tbe unfinished "DolUrer Ro mance,” which have been printed in the At lantic, bnt a third chapter also, which the author left in manuscript. But up to the present time no one has succeeded in deciph ering this latter, and it Btill remains a puzzle. Mrs. Hawthorne was most skilful in decipher ing her husband's manuscript. To her pa tient labor the world owes her conversation of “Septimios Felon.” Since her death no one has been found equal to the task. Mias Una Hawthorne has undertaken the work, but with only partial success. It is tho opin ion of the most intelligent critics that Mr. Hawthorne intended to suppress ‘'Septimus Felton," and develop its main idea—the se cret of living forever—in ‘‘The Dolliver Ro mance.”—Literary World. utterly impossible for the ’ bat by tho fnanoial nays, cotton may rule .soue .. lo-er, but tho loss will I not bo li. ■ •: Southern pjpple.

LAY-HOOPER. Close of the Correspondence—Col. Lay De nounces Hooper as a Liar—But Expresses Himself Ready to Fight Him. To THE EniXOKS or THE HeBALD: I band you herewith tho close of my correspondence with Col. G. W. Hooper, of which he has seen lit to publish a part. In publishing the papers in tho Fhilllpe-Wsddell case, I held out four letters personal to Col. Hooper and myself for these reason*— Firtt. I aid not conceive our personal matter would iuterest the public. Second. The matter between U3 was not by any means concluded. I give you the conclusion. The two letters borne by Mr. Cunningham and the one by Capt. Campbell were simply demauda that he should reply to mine of 23rd August. I am, gentUmen, respectfully, Ben.i. D. Lay. Opelika, Ala., Sept. 17, 1873—10:30 a. m. Colonel Georg* W. Hooper : Upon the 30th of August you sent mo a letter through the mail, which bore date inside 20Ui of Au gust. This letter you claimed was io reply 11 mine to you, of 23d of August, to which you bad neglected to re ply. Failing to get an answer, I left Atlanta, came to Opelika, and addressed you a note through Mr. W. W. Cuuningham, to whom you gave a verbal reply, plead ing, in your usual evasive manner, that you would re ply, but had’nt time then. I then Bent you a second note, to which you attempted an evasive answer, which Mr. Cunningham refused to receive, saying to you that he demanded a written reply to a written note. Y’ou then promised him that you would reply by 10 a. m. of tbe 30th, stating that you preferred replying to my letter of 23d before my later ones; and, aB that bad been sent through the mail, you asked leave of Mr. Cunningham to send the reply the Fame way, as suring him that, when sent, you were of opinion that I would not ask a reply to the two last. Mr. Cunningham referred the matter to me, and I consented to wait. At 10:30 ▲. m. cf the next day Mr. Cunningham brought me your reply. I am aorry, 3eorge W. Hooper, you should ever have written it—because I am sorry to cease to think you a gentleman. I had believed you one, and had treated you with courtesy accordingly. But, Col. Geo- W. HoorEn, from the time you wrote that letter you were no longer a gentleman—because, sir, you had wilfully, deliberately, and with premedi tation, lied—lied, sir, not once, but many times; for, Mr. Hooper, your heart tells you that no such conver sation as you report ever passed between us; there fore you had no such memory. Oh, sir! sir ! how could you degrade yourself so shamefully? When I had read your letter, I at oncp sent you a reply by Captain Campbell, stating what you know well to be true—that business of greater importance prevented my replyijg then, aud th-»t I would reply, at my convenience. You know what that business was, foryou had brought me Mr. Holland the day be fore and witnessed our interview. Yon were aware, I am sure, too, of the telegram he sent after his return home, requesting me to come to Columbus. Hence, you fully understand what was meant by business of a more imperative nature. This note, Sir, was sent to you by the hands of Cap tain Campbell at once, and he found that you had left the city immediately upon mailing your insult to me. Captain Campbell went to your office to deliver my cote, found that ycu had left, and endorsed the fact upon tbe back of the note, and stated to me that he would hunt you until he found you. There wore ac credited to you besides Capt: John C. Campbell, also Major J. F. Shecnt and Capt. Wallace. These gentle men found yon at Columbus when they went to de liver my reply to Mr. -James T. Holland, at Gen. Een- niug’s office. Capt. Campbell, as the immediate consideration of the note, asked to see you alone, as there were others present. You took him to a private room; as ho en tered, you drew and cocked a pistol, which you held behind you, and retreated backward behind a large table. Captain C. is a small man, unarmed. You re fused tbe note with the pistol in your hand; but Campbell told you that you must receive it, and you took it. It required no answor yet you wrote one, stating that as the correspondent had been com menced by mail you proposed to continue it that way. Upon entering that room, you shut the door in tin face of Capt Wallace and Mr. Shecut, and stood alone with Capt. Campbell, and drew your pistol. Ob, Sir! are you not ashamed as you remember tzis scene ? Well, sir, so soon as the Phlllips-Waddell matter was finished, I, as I had promised, left Atlanta for this point, alone and unarmed. It was my intention, if I met you on tbe street, to lay to you personally aud privately that you had lied, and dismiss the matter. I run around here all day yesterday for that purpose, and no other. I saw you but once—that was as I re turned from the “ telegraph office.” Your were stand ing on the porch of your office. An elderly gentleman was sitting on your porch reading. Mr. Fred Phillips was with me. I said to Mr. Phillips, at once, to leave me, and not approach nearer to me than twenty paces. He did so, aud I walked alone to the front of your of fice. As yon saw me comiug, and while I was yet thirty or forty yards away, you turned suddenly and went into your office; the old gentleman, too, looked at me, rose aud left tbe porch. (I have been told that so soon as you got inside yon seized a double-barreled shot gun, and watched for my coming through the door.) Of course I never contemplated going icto your " office." I paused for a second in front, then walked slowly on to the "postoffice;” waited there some three minutes, then sauntered slowly oyer to the hotel. Since that time I have been three times past your "office,” but save that timo have never eeen you. Everyone in this city has been a witness to the man ner in which a party of your friends attempted to bully and intimidate mo yesterday, by parading the streets heavily armed ami poatmg themselves near the door of the h (<•! where l. was stopping. I have been told that you were with that parly. If so. you remained inside some of the doors, for I did not see you, though 1 law tho otheis as I passed through Now, Col. Hooper failmg to see you, 1 mail you this reply to your extraordinary letter, end :oae oil comspondeccj with you fri. . There is only ot way I ab*U ever notice you again—that it if yo i Fi.Gidd aoud u friend to mo with a polite u te, requesting me to meet you on mutual ground, your friend shall bo received, and I promise to grant year wish, and restore you to the gentility you have forfeited. I remain hero until 12 to-night, when I go to Co lumbus. 1 shall stay there twenty-four hours, and then return to Atlanta. I am, sir, entirely at your service, BnJtf. D. Lay, M.D. I certify that I copied this letter for Col. B. D. Lay and saw him mail it to Col. G. W. Hooper, in this city. Wm. T. Tiujtttm.
