Much cotton has been sent from near Perry to Macon and Hawkisvlllo by wagon. The ladies of Columbus belonging to two of the largest congregations in that city met in council on Friday and resolved to buy no more new dre«scs this • alloc winter; and should they be compelled to pur- baae any. to confine themselves to home manufac- torers.

When these peopla are* asked for reasons for what they say, they arc totally unable to give any. If you then quietly in.-inuate the possibility cf their allegations being founded upon prejudice rather than fact, they fly into a passion and “wonder how you can talk so.' The square, solid truth is nothing to them, and facts aro swept like dust flakes ia the whirlwind cf their anger. Consequently these strong minded gentlemen will thiuk nothing cf the statement made officially by Treasurer Jones that Atlanta has taken $200,750 cf the Nutting bonds, more than four times as much as any other city or county in the State. Au gusta, the noted capita! centre of Georgia, takes $44,000, and Savannah $41,000; Bibb takes $04,000. Of course these pnjudice venders will not think of this in a commen datory light, but all honest people will be lieve that Atlanta lias proudly borne herself as the Capital city of Georgia. UOKKOW1NG MONEY BY 'a HE CITY. We publish this morning a communication from one of our most respected citizens, ask ing some pertinent questions of the municipal government. Injustice to the Finance Com mittee, however, we deem it proper to state, that we understand it was not possible to bor row the money as suggested by oar correspon dent, and, hence it became necessary to bor row in the city on the best terms obtainable. It has only been within the past sixty days that as much as It per cent per month has been paid, the greater part of the money bor rowed having been obtained at ten and twelve percent, per annum, while the average of all will not exceed twelve per cent, per annum. Justice to the members of tho Finance Com mittee requires this statement. Indeed, when we bear in mind that for the first time in sev- heart is through his digestive organs, and tne young ladies of Georgia, if they h ive no oth er motive in contending for the prizes of cookery, have shown an insight into the mas culine nature which reflects credit upon their penetration and skillfnlne.ss in adapting meuns to end. They have also vindicated the practical character of their State, which was settled originally by a plain, practical peo ple, lookmg more to substance than to show, and prospering accordingly. WHO WAS HE i ‘•The other paper” says that some one was an idiot enough to imagine that it endorsed Mr. Tumlin's plan because it published the scheme of that gentleman. NYe shall say that any man who would imagine that the Constitution endorsed anything must'ce an idot. No man in his normal senses could look for an endorsement of, or opposition lo, any pro ject by that paper as long as there was a fence conveniently near at hand for it to get astride of. And that fence was near by when it published Tumlin's nonsense without com ment. N. C. STEVENSON MACON, GA., MONDAY. OCT 6. 1873 THE IVAll IiPUJj SELF Rl- Editors or the Atlanta Herald: Gentlemen—In an editorial article entitled “Treasurer Jones’Circular,” in your issue of Sunday, you use tho name of an Augusta gen tleman in a connection that may do great in justice, and as I am fully assured that noth ing of the sort was intended, I beg that you will indulge me with a brief statement by way of explanation. I think it due to a most worthy -ind patriotic institution. In the article referred to, you arraign Mr. Thos. P. Brauch as “the Cashier of the'Mer- chants’ and Planters’ Bank of Augusta,” for certain acts tending to depreciate the new issue of bonds in the market, and break down the credit of the Staio. The legitimate inference from your language is, that in the on duct complained of, Mr. Branch was act- his capacity of Cashier, and in con- Rood* he could sell Mr. George M. Traylor, of Boroughs A: Wing, who travels with a whole library of poetical works, is probably the fattest traveler on tbo wing. It is con ceded that he can do more work in le*s time than a .y one else. lie bus been with Boroughs k Wing lor three > cars and has onlv lost three day**’ time, Ilia aesoci ales ray he would rather leave liis sample caee at heme than his copy of Byron.

A Ouii t >liin Killed by a Drunken Vagabond 1 oral years city checks have been at par, aud formity to the policy and instructions of his that all bills against the city have been paid in full on presentation, we do not believe any blame can attach itself lo the Finance Com mittee, which has done as well, perhaps, as could be expected under tho circumstances.

The necessity for os to adopt a strictly cash business is imperative, onr e xpenses being very large and requiring a large cash outlay every week. We trust that our friends and patrons everywhere will appreciate the motive which prompts this step. Ten days before each subscription ex pires, we shall send a printed notification to the subscriber, and if ly the time of its expi ration it:« not renewed, we shall stop the pa per. Ou and after the same date (Oct. 15) we shall most positively adhere to tho system ol Cash m advance for all transient advertise ments, and monthly payments in advance for all contract advertisements. All overdue accounts for advertisements and subscriptions not paid by October 15th, will be placed in the hands of onr attorney fo collection. THE IMMORTELLES OF TI1E STOVE. Upon what slight chances is celibrity of ten fo a uded ? Onr good friends of Home little thought, when they proposed “for the novelty of tho thing,” a cooking match by young ladies, at their last fair, that they were m iking them selves famous; nor did tho contesting dam sels imagine, any the more, that the smoke which curled from off their petted stoves was wafting their names to an immortal dis tinction. Vet such was the fact! There is hardly a newspaper in all the laDd whose columns have not glowed with their praises. No warrior upon loud resounding field: no orator in the forum or the hustings; no philosopher in his laboratory; no editor in his sanctum, ever achieved a more stable or extensive lame, than did these gastronom ic heroines as they turned tho primitive pan cake, or browned the dainty fritter, in tho light of their iittlo stoves at modern Home upon her holiday ! We’re heartily proud of our Cherokee maid ens; and unless we're very much mistaken Rome will soon be flooded with anxious young men, looking for wives who can be helpmeets— for women who are not dolls,and who have been in the kitchen at least as often as they have been to the opera; for women, not to make diudges of, but women that can be depended on as in telligent superintendents of household affairs. A woman who can get a good dinner will never find any trouble in getting a good hus band. NVe commend the example of the Rome j girls to our young misses all over the Imd, | and dismiss tbo subject with an extract upon : the subject from the Baltimore Stin: A fair was lately held at Rome, Gcorgi i, n peculiar feature of which was a contest among the young ladies for the production of the best dinner. The Jprizc—an appropriate ono - was a cooking stove, and it was awarded to Miss Hettie Johnson. Tne second prize, also a cooking stove, was carried off by Miss Octavia Shropshire, quite an aristocratic name, at least the Christian name, which was that of the sister of the Emperor Augustus and wife of Mark Antony. Tho Roman Oc- tavia was a domestic woman, sticking to her home and educating her children, and even bringing np tho children of Antony by Ful- via and Cleopatra. The superior of Cleopatra in beauty, and virtuous in an ngo of licen tiousness there is no name, albeit it be that of a heathen, which may with more propriety and grace be worn by a woman of any coun try, whose chief ambition is the faithful dis charge of her domestic duties. There was also an award at the Rome fair ot $10 for general proficiency to Bliss E. J. Shropshire, apparently of the same family, bank, of which ex-Governor Jenkins is the worthy President. I am satisfied this is not, so. Mr. Branch, I learn, is a bro ker, doing business outside of the bank of which he is Cashier, and I have no doubt he was acting for himself alone in his petulent efforts to bring the credit of the State into disrepute. The President and Directors of the Merchants’ and Planters' Bank could have had no part or lot in any 6uch business, and I think a simple fact will establish what I say. I happen to be in a position to know that earnest efforts were made to induce tho Augusta banks to sub scribe to the new State loan, and that this same Merchants’ and Planters’ Bank was the only one that overruled all considerations of inconve nience, aud came up Dobly to the support of the State. Its board not only voted what was, under tho circumstances, a liberal sub scription to the loan, bnt were active in their efforts to induce the other banks of the city to follow their good example. Satisfied that the Merchants’ and Planters* Bank is not responsible for Mr. Branch’s sins, I have thought it due that institution and tho sterling old patriot who presides over it, to make this statement, aud I trust you will do me the favor and them the justice of giving it to the public.
