Al novel phase of the Libor qnestion has just been developed in the South Carolina cotton fields; The colored people in ope section, held an excited meeting, extending through Saturday • J? hiigli't and Sunday, and adopted resuju- . tiens binding themselves, tlieir wivt* and children ho!, to pick Cotton for less lhan fifty cents per one hundred • Pounds, under penalty of a whipping, a member of the organisation to apply tlio lash. Advices, from the. British camp before Cabul, under date of Oufobei\8tli, state that Baker’s brigade was engaging the enemy oh the Lifts southwest of the Ta.tpwn.Tand that an obstinate struggle, was expected on the 10th. A Simla dispatch, dated Saturday, states that . General Gough will ..be established at Jellalabad by Monday, and !hafr all the difficulties of transportation ; have been overcome, and troops of all . arms are moving forward from all- the columns to to the support of General Roberts. The Capitol Qac stloa We fought Atlanta to the best of our ability, but she won; and wo think the people by’ a large majority have select ed it asthe seat of. government. We .ue not in favor of renewing the issue, es pecially ns .between Atlanta and Mil- ledgeville. That is forever settled. If, - - however, the people should at some fu ture day desiie to move the capital, we via go into the fight squor ly in - -*7 "^ror of Macon. Macon is decidedly thi> place for it. But let. the matter rVs r for the present,-above all don’t waste any money in building or removing the capitol for a few years. Petticoats in Formes.—The New York society of women known as “The Scrosis,” whose chief amusement here tofore has been to dine at Delmomco’s and dabble in literature, has taken a new departure. At the meeting on Tuesday it was proposed that “The So- rosis” should tahepaitin politics, and the membeis were invited to asscirible Friday “!o take measures to defeat Governor Robinson, on the gi-cnnd that he vetoed a kill allowing women to become members of school boards'.” It was announced that Mr. TLnrber had placed printing presses and money at the disposal of Miss Thomas, the leader of. the new movement; that cir [ oulars were preparing which a hundred ' women had been'engaged to distribute through lie state, and that Air. Coimeli, and Mr. Kelly were warmly in favor of i women taking part in the campaign 1 JM i. .. We. embarked on the Central Bail- road bh ■"Wbdhfroday evening ’of last week "for Savannah to attend the Gen- lennial Gelebration of the attempt to capture that city by. the French and American forcea.,oa the 9th of October, 177S, and ilia death of tlie renowned Sargeaht William Jasper. At Macon we found an immense mul titude of people bound for the Forest City, and several tong trains filled to their utmost capacity, were sent out by the Geiit-alA Macon & Brunswick roads. It is easier to imagine than describe the tedious all night trip from- Mneon to Savannah in the crowded trains, and the discomfort undergone. However, we at last reached eur destination,and with the ladies of onr party camped at the Marshall House and such other places as were accessible. Here we must re turn thanks to Capt S. B. Weston, of >t lie Albany News, for his kindness in securing a room for the ladies, to Mr. Charles A Williams of the Central Geor gia Weekly, for ad milting ns to the lar- 1 ger third of his bed; and lastly, but not leasfly to Mr. J. H Estill, President of the GeorgiaPress Association and proprietor of the Savannah Morning Neies, for much appreciated lunch and other fa vors. At nine o’clock the-Press Association met, but we could not geit breakfast and! shave in time for the meeting. At ten o’clock the procession formed on South Broad Street. It consisted of various societies, and over forty companies of cavalry, infantry aDd artillery, distin guished men in carriages, and citizens, comprising about 1500 volunteer mili tia of this and adjoining States. The procession marched through the princi pal streets, and stopped at Madison Square where the foundation of the Jasper monument had been laid, where a large stand was erected for the cere monies. Tlie square and streets lead ing to it was filled- with thousands of people. Here Gen. Jno. B. Gordon was ap propriately introduced when he deliv ered, perhaps the grandest oration of his life. It was such a speech as Gor don alone can make, and we regret our usability to give space for it in full. The layiug of the corner stone was done well and truly previous to the address, and when Gen. Gordon had concluded, and the applause died away, the pro cession and spectators repaired to the park, where a grand military parade f oot place, and a salute of 13 guns in honor of the occasion was fired by the Charleston Light Artillery. Most nota ble in the procession being, the guard of honor oi the day, was the German Fusi- • leers of Charleston, an organization ' whose founders took an active part in the events of the seige and assault on ilio British forces which was being cele brated. There was also a company of ! the 13th U. S Infantry and the celebra ted band of that regiment which occu pied the head of the procession. The number of people at the park was uot less than thirty thousand, and they covered not less than a hundred acres of ground. . We did not go to the Isle of Hope on Friday to witness the rifle shooting and regata, but excurted with the press and visitors to Tybee If land on the steamer City of Bridgeton. We got' a view of the gland old ocean, and reached the city tire^ and hungry only to find the market ' exhausted and the restaurants with nothing to eat. Thursday night we went to see and hear the celebrated opera, “H. M. S. Pinafore,” which was well performed at Masonic Hall by the Mendelshonn Musi cal club, of Savannah. On the same night wo .witnessed a considerable.fire not down In the bills,—also a fine illu mination, and the renowned electric light. On Thursday evening we had quite a rain and wind storm just after we hstd disembarked from the steamboat. . Our space will not permit us to give an account of our trip homo, or the many nfid vexation incidents and acci dents. The Jasper centennial will be long re membered by all who attended as one- off the most notable occasions in. the history of Georgia. * -<■ Zephyr Shawls only 90cts and up wards at " Jacobus & Co’s. Hawkinsvilie Ga. I* Jibe legislature adjourned .. either last night or to-day. The session' Las been of almost unprecedented length, haying lasted, altogether about one bundled and’ thirty' days, and. the tdtal cost there of being over two hundred thou-and dollars. By fur the greater part of this time has been wasted in useless discus sions, and reconsiderations. The legislature has done much that is good, much that is bud and, more t hat is indifferent. For the good it deserves praise, for the bad criticism, and for the indifferent a quiet passing by. W« do not thing the body has displayed any great statesmanship. Some of the mem. tiers have made creditable records on the whole, while doing some things that the people cannot unqualifiedly approve. The great fault seemed to have been a disposition to talk too much, and to too little .purpose,—a desire to show off, and a disregard-fos economy in the legislative department, 'while most of the others should be stinted. The state at large will hail the adjourn ment with pleasure, and it’is t®; be hop ed that we may have at least a constitu tional rest of two years before the nest session. When thenext session does meet we hope to see the proper committess it once investigate thoroughly every de- partmert of the government, and not wait until the press and people leave no other alternative, Lateb.—The above was written in an ticipation of the solemn event noted. As yet the wires hare not informed us of it, but will in a day or two. - Anyhow, if it ever does occur, the remarks will apply. The doings of t)he Georgia Leg islature are ten times more uncertain than tie verdict- of a petit jury.. THE SEVENTEEN SENATORS, A short time ago the press and peo ple with one accord wtre denouncing a petit jury in a neighboring, -county for the acquittal of a man who had commit ted a most brutal and inexcusable inur- deri This condemnation was merited, but these jurors had been selected by shrewd counsel, and in the case there had been some testimony in favor of the accused, although few, if-any, believed in its truth. What shpll be said of the seventeen wise Senators of Georgia, whose votes seenred the acquittal of Renfro, the reealeitrant state Treasurer, who was proven guilty, acknowledged the deed, and who yet has, with his se curities, the State’s money in hispoeket. But let us not be severe,—perhaps. Eke Renfroe, they maybe also excused on the plea of ignorance of law. But it is sad to think of such a benighted condi tion in onr" highest legislative depart ment.
