Since oar teat report we ha to heard hut little relative to crops, farmers however complain of dry weather, and rust on their cotton.

In Muscogee Superior Court, on Wedues day, George IL Brown was iodic ted for keep ing a gaining table. His counsel moved that the indietment be quashed, on the ground that keno did not come under the statute against gambling. The court overruled the motion, and the case went to trial before a jury, who found a verdict of guilty, and the Judge imposed a fine of $300. The case is to be carried to the Supreme Court The Sp.irta Journal cays: “The continued drought has iqjured the cotton more serious- ly than we anticipated. It is opening very rapidly and picking has begun, i he farmers complain of short but and small bolls. The August crop is a failure. The blooms very sparse, and they tall off after becoming bolls in almost every instance. Instead of two- thirds of a crop as we opined last week, many planters say they will not mako a half crop.— We think the average wit] be less than two thirds, even with good seasons and a propi tious autumn. Fertilizers will not pay as great a p« r cent, as usual, but euough doubt not to encourage their continued u ufacture and sale.” Serrano pots on tbe airs of a sovereign.

The re seating of the ootored members, end the prompt penssge of tbo Fifteenth Constitution al Amendment ere matters of much greater importance, which should, first of all, oooupy the attention of the Legislators at its next meeting. We look upon this impeachment rumor as s firet-olam humbug, whioh will end in empty sir. Any movement In this direction would be highly detrimental to the political, social, and material interests of the common wealth Our people want political quiet and repose. Impeachment means revolution, aud as stated heretofore, (in these columns) shall oppose any steps looking to such a del- eterious result. pST The Hon. A T.

John Wesley once asked a friend for his ad vice as touching the feasibility of some cher ished enterprise. “Why should I give you my advice,” said tbe friend, “seeing you sever follow it ?" Tbe great Methodist ex plained that be had consulted a number of his friends upon the same subject, but \ out any preconceived purpose to follow the advioe of either. His purpose was to get the views of all, and therefrom deduce an opinion of his own upon whioh he should aet. In this way he hoped to make tbe advioe of his friends profitable, without adopting the extreme views or rejecting tbe sensible conclusions of any particular party. This is an excellent method in politics no less than iii theology. We like to advise with friends upon all topics of interest or schemes of importance. We invite rather than avoid friendly advice and counsel. But this does not imply that we mean to adopt, as a whole, the counsels even of oar ablest and most valued frieuds. We prefer the eclectic plan ; that is, to hear all, and from the good of all, form an opiuion aud plan of our own, and then aot upon it. This implies no disrespect to any, indeed none is ever iuteuded ; but it does enable us'to arrive at that “golden men which always intervenes between the two trciues. Hence the moderation of the Eua, and hence its disfavor with extremists of both factions. There arc those who seem to think that the ditor of a party journal should have no opiu ms of his own; that In- should move only us he is wrought upon ; and that hence he is for tunate who can succeed in transmitting his views aud plans (in the form of “advice”) to the party through aome automaton of an itor ! Time wan. in certain sections of this State, when such was supposed to bo the re lation which the political journal sustained to its party ! But that was a custom which be longs to a Past epoch. For the very reason that the Era is tho organ of the Republican party in Georgia, it cannot, without a gross betrayal of its trust, become the organ ot ar.y individual man of that party. And tbe reasons whioh render it wise aud ex pedient for its editor to invite tho opinions aud advioe of all true men of the party, make it both impracticable and impolitic to accept, as A whole, the opinions, plgus or advice ofuuy ot these counsellors. Nevertheless, their Advice is always courted; to the end that we may profit by that whioh seems to us good, without in any way obligating ourselves to ac cept what, in our judgment, is not so good. In other words, we make tho same use of the ‘Advioe” of our frieuds (whether given vo un tartly or under solicitation) that we do of our exchanges—we select what suits uh and let the rest go! dresses, and yet to dress like no one etee.| The Oovernor of Espiriiu Santo has con scripted all in his jurisdiction betwqpn the ages of 20 and 50.

To the Intelligencer. Col. Blodgett, who is still Chairman of the 8tate Central Committee of the “Radical par ty ” in Georgia, is now the special object of your friendly offices. Until quite recently, you spoke of him as “a purjured man," a “scalawag of a low degree,” and au adventu rer with whom no white man might associate, or **no Georgian” countonanoe, without for feiting his patent of “respectability !” A fejv months since, when you were the echo of a certain Augusta pape r in its denunciations of Col. Blodgett, some of yonr old time friends indignantly spumed tho insinuation of yonr enemies that you would, ere long, seek to becorno tho personal organ of this “chief of Scalawag Radical*!” Time bus proved that your enemloe knew you belter than we did.— The files of the Intelligencer for two years past teem with the lowest personal abuse of this man. That record, yon have never re tracted, explained or modified. Col. Blodg ett is the same uncompromising “Radical" now that he waa then. Ho is even yet the Chairman of the Radical State Central Com mittee, as he was tkeo. Jio is open and un compromising in his advocacy of “negro suf frage” now, as ho was thin; and he is still n “Radical” in all the essential and non essen tial dements of that faith ss he was then.— He has not changed. Ho has not gone to the “Detnocraey”—that is quite evident. How happens it, then, that you, a Demo cratic journal, have becorno so snddonly en amored of Foster Blodgett, Chairman of the Htete Central Committee of the Repnbliosi party In Georgia ? And, under this stato of facts, how can yon justify yonr anger al the Constitution for insititietlng that you have left the VemotrmM* party and gone over, boots and breeches, to the “Radicals r Do yoa really mean to deny that yon are now seeking fall membership in the extreme wing of the Republican party ? If so, how do you explain yoar sadden phange of attitude toward CoL Blodgett? Was the Intelligencer sinew a few month* ago, or ia it sineefe now ?

Tkc New Cotton Crop—Fin* Proapeet for thv Sooth. A few bales, and the first, of the new cotton crop have come to the New York market.— That from Georgia, classed as low middling, was sold at auction for thirty-six cents a pound, and thAt from Alabama, classed as strict mid dling, brought forty-eight and a half cents.— These, iUa true, may he termed rather fancy prices, asuio first bale or two of the new cot ton crop always bring more than those that come alter. But it is au indication of what the prico will be hereafter. We may conclude therefore, that the crop of 18G0 will realise immense sum oi money. This crop is vari ously estimated—between two millions and half bales to three millions—probably It may reach two millions seveu hundred or two mil lions eight hundred thousand bales. If the average price throughout the season of sales should not exceed tweuty-flve cents a pound though from present appearances it will be higher than that—the crop will be worth two hundred millions of dollars. From all tho light before ns there is reason to believe it will bring nearly that sum in gold. This production, too, is in addition to the tobaeoo, sugar and other valuable crops of tbe South for exportation. Besides, that sec tion cf the country since the war has paid moro attention to the raising of grain, and other articles of food, and is now, per haps, independent, or nearly so, of ontsido supplies. Iu short, tho South this year will huve a surplus production to be sold for cash over and above the production of necessities worth, at least, two hundred millions of dol lars. Who will not say tho South is becom ing rich again? We must admire the wonder ful recuperative power of the people there and congratulate them on the splendid prospect they have of material prosperity. With more labor and capital to develop their resources the Southern States will become very soon the richest country on the globe.— N. Y. Her aid, Aug. 20/A. MIGHT DlfiFATOHEH. Washihotom.
