bales more than in 1860, ai)d the BtocUs on hand
at all the ports show an increase, compared with

The advices from nearly every portion of the
Southern States continue very unfavorable iq re
gard to the crop. Notwithstanding this, Norths
em speculators insist that there will he a large
yield, aud their estimates raugefrom 2,000,000 to
3.000. 000 bales. The New York Tribune of the
2d inst. says: . .
“Undoubtedly the growingcotton has Buffered
by the heavy rains of last , month, and by the
worm, so that the crop will not. hilly justify the
reasonable anticipations ot midsummer; yet the
croakers’ estimates of an aggregate of 000,000 to
1.000. 000 bales are already seen to be absurd.—
Tho latest estimate from the planters’ point of
view makes the crop 1,800,000 bales. We
still believe it will be 2,000,000, which, ^present
prices, will net the growers $240,000,000, and
command in the world’s markets at least $300,
000,000. Nor do wo believe the. price will-be
materially reduced, save for a month or two, be
cause of a rush to realism early, to nieet pressing
engagements. The world is still cotton-hungry,
and 2,000,000 will not satiate its appetite. We
predict that cotton will be higher next
April and May, than throughout November
and December of this year, because ol the mort
gages and acceptances to he met by sales this
autumn. Two million bales is barely half a crop,
where a whole one is urgently needed. There is
no fear of a glut for the next four-or five years."
Messrs. Neill Bros. & Co., of New York, say
iu their Cotton Circular of the 25thofSeptcmber:
“The vast area of country'in • which cotton is
grown, and the fact that most of those who make
good crops keep silent on the subject, should
make us cautious about believing; too readily, oi
“short crop cry.” The following query is well
put by the sagacious commercial editor of the
New Orleans jfi’mes.: . , .
’While many remarks are made in regard to
cotton, some outsider steps up.nnd says: why is
there so great a demand for bagging, rope and
iron ties ? What makes India sell at 89 to 40
cents? What is it wanted for if the worms have
eaten up the cotton—clearei^up- entire^flelds^n
The estimates of gentlemen in the South,
whose experience with former crops entitles their
opinion to much consideration, range from 1,000,-
000 to 1,600,000 bales. The majority fix. their
estimates at about 1,250,000 bales. In this con
nection, we give some statistics which will bo
found both interesting and useful.
An old cotton factor of Charleston furnishes
the Courier, of that city, with the following
statement of the amount of the several cotton

“ERROR CEASES TO BE DANGEROUS WHEN REASON IS LEFT FREE TO COMBAT IT."—leffei’son.
VOL. XII.
ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY. OCTOBER 1), 18G6.
NO. 235.
They Won’t Admit Us.
We recently reproduced a paragraph from
the Now York Independent, declaring that tho
radicals would not admit our representatives
into Congress, oven if we were to ratify. tlie
constitutional amendment. That paper repeats
its assertion iu morc.ompbatic language. Hear
it:
“We know personally every prominent mem
ber of Congress, and Wo know that tho leaders
do not mcaii. to admit the unadmitted States on
the mere adoption ot tlie amendment. Moreover,
wo know personally the leading radicals of the
Republican party outside of Congress, and we.
know that they liavo no intention of making
the amendment the final maasure of admission.
To say, therefore, as tho national committee say,
that on conditioifof adopting tlie amendment
ns Tennessee nduplcd il, ‘tliedoor stands invit
ingly open for. tho ten. other. Slates,-’ is to make
a premise to the ear to break it to tlie hope.”
The Bdston Commonwealth, u Sumner organ,
says the same thing.

the following respecting thq inaur^ction ip Qan-
I have to relate tragical presceutipns aud out

It will ho seen that tiieSe receipts at the vari
ous ports lack 1,888,070 bales,of reaching the
amount put down by tlie -census bureau ns the
crop of 1800, and this large deficiency could not
have heunin the hands of producers, and such
speculators as held small stocks at inluud towtls.
pothe census bureau’s estimates or returns must
no fully 1,500,000 above.the actual crop.

• The Israelites.—Speaking of this peculiar
and extraordinary people; the Richmond W hig
says: _ .
. We hail their presence in such numbers in tlie
Southern States as an auspicious sign. Instead
of diminishing here, they have probably increas
ed. In this city numerous squares—almost en
tire streets—are monopolized by tbem, and a so
berer, steadier, or more industrious nnd law-nbid-
itig.cjass of; population docs not exist. They in
terfere with no one, mind their own business, ob
serve their religious ceremonies, and pursue their
own peculiar enjoyments and indulgences.. We^
hope they may never leave us. When’ they do,
we shall begin to fear that we are given over to
ruin—that what a distinguished cx-Govemor
would call the “doom of Devefgoil” awaits us.—
If there is to be a new Jerusalem, let Richmond
be the place,
The Difference.—Governor Brownlow de
nies, in a letter to tho Knoxville Whig, that be
lias purchased muskets, as charged, to arm the
“ loyal militia” of his State, but says:
“Every intelligent npaii in Tennessee.knows
that tbe Legislature made no provision for any
purchase of arms—was not asked to do so—and
that I have no funds at my command with whicli
to purchase arms. Knowing these facts myself,
seeing there is likely to be a necessity for
arms, and to enforce the franchise law, and to
[ revent tlie State Government from overthrow,
y a set of bad men in Tennessee; I made ar
rangements with loyal Governors to borrow what
arms may be wanted."
Good Joke on the Police.—A citizen of
South Bond stepped into the Mayor’s office and
stated that the night previous a fellow came
Btalking into ids house stark nuked, and .that lie
was unable to put liim out and that he was there
yet. Three policemen at once started on the
run to oust tbe intruder." When they got into
the house they asked to see the fellow that had
come iu there the night before. The nurse
brought out the baby, which the oitizeu’s wife
had presented him with the night before. The
policemen suddenly disappeared and it is sup
posed have had to stand a good many extra
treats since. '
TnE Telegraph in Newfoundland.—Not
many persons understand that the lines in New
foundland passthrough a forest, and in one case
a continuous distance of 250 miles. Stations
arS established every 50 miles, aud in case ot a
freshet, it becomes necessary in making repairs
to make a detour 6f 50 miles into the interior to
get abross the swollen streams. 'Tho ptiblio are
unable to understand why breaks are not sooner

can readily
laired, but one who has tried a journey such
the Newfoundland woods offer,
comprehendathe delay.
' The Fashions.—A Paris correspondent says
that the .latest thing in tlie fashion lino is the
Jitvpe JSusse, or Russian skirt—a short skirt of a
semewliht vivid color over o longer one of a
sombre hue, such as pink on-black, or pink on

s,- and putting it at a very low oxi-
ed and fifty gallone per minute, we
and gallons per hour, or two hundred
and Blxteen thousand gallons every twenty-four hours.—
But'themoet of tho season it would double that amount.
When w« take into consideration the fact tliat aU that Is
wanting is principally for fire; aud Bauitary use in tlie
thickly settled portion, and business parts of the city, I
think the supply Is ample, from the fiict that oar city is
blessed with pure well .water, which no ono would ox-
change, though tho supply is .ever so great. This, how
ever, is not for mo to determine. I now present for your
consideration tho plan and .probablo cost of conducting
the abovo amount of water to tho city, and, in doing so,
-will say that the estimates have been carefully made, and!
the final cost; - This I have been careful to avoid .In the
eurveye made, and estimates, I have been assisted by our
very able and efficient Oily Engineer, Mr. W. B. Bass.
Wo propose to constrnct a dam, or collecting reservoir,
in which to collect a million or more gallons of water, and
icularbelghtorleveiof ■
eet; said reservoir to have a
... , 'gallons, at an elovation that will
force water to thq, top o? any of. tho business houses In
tho fire limits.
This can be done with an clghty-horae power engine,
which is capable of doing twlco that amount of work, If
necessary, by additig another pnrnp. We propose to fay
a twelyc-Inch pipe from diuu to reservoir, also (tom jeacr-
voir to WbltchaH street, connecting said street near tho
inch pipes, aq far-,as necessary up and down said strqots,
with cross pipes, of similar or smaller elzo; through Ala
bama and all othor streets which may bo considered ne
cessary, plucing outlet valves, or. wbnt ja commonly
called ‘‘fire plugs,'" at tlie different corners, as niarbu
deemed advisable, A smaller engine and smaller pipes
’ddo for tlie amount of water; -but, in vlow or tho
