The committee of the Augusta Ex change have iwined the following report of the condition of the cotton crop for the Augusta district for September : The Auocsta Exchange. t ArocsTA, Ga., Ootoiler 12, 1877. S To the President and Board of IHrec tors of the Augusta /exchange : Gentlemen— We respectfully submit the following report for the month of September as to the prospects and con dition of the cotton crop in the district allotted to this Exchange. Our report is based upon seventeen replies, from ten counties. Average date of replies, October Ist. First Question —What has been the character of the weather during the month of September? Answer—Only four correspondents report the weather as favorable, all the others as unfavora ble. It was dry and warm until abont the 15th, since then frequent rains, cold nights and 1< cal storms. Second Question —What effect has it had upon the cotton plaDt? Answer — Late cotton was improved in the early pßrt of the month, and some new growth taken on. Early cotton opened well and rapidly. Since the 15th opening has been slow. Third Question —What damage, if I any, has been done to the crop by | worms, rust, rot or storms ? Answer— No damage by worms in the counties heard from. By rust, about 10 per cent., and in the latter part of the month some loss is reported by rot. The frequent rains and storms have had the effect to ! damage the quality and color of the open cotton. Fourth Qoession—State the progress being made in picking? Answer—Pick ing was somewhat retarded by planters devoting much time to their Pall small grain crops, and later in the month by frequent rains. Nevertheless, it is now well np, as there never was a very great quantity of cotton open at any one time, j Asa rule, abont one-fourth of the crop i is reported as picked. Fifth Question —What are yonr views ] of the yield per acre in your section ? j Answer—The average yield is estimated j at about 400 pounds of seed cotton per I acre. Sixth Question—How will the yield compare with that of last year? Answer j - Our replies iudicate, on an average, a falling off from the yield of last year of 27 per cent. Remarks—Yonr committee regret to note the apathy shown by correspond ents in sending their replies. From six teen of the couuties allotted to this Ex- i change for statistical purposes, no infor mation was received this month, and these iuciude some of oar best and lar gest producing counties. This must nat urally detract from the value of our re port. Less cotton is reported as open ! th hi for several years pust at this season of the year. Ginning has not been kept up with the amount picked eh promptly as usual; much of the cotton picked be ing in a damp and green condition. Very respectfully, L. L. Zulavsky, ('llairman; R. W.

A Couplf of Yon iik Men From Allenditle, Moulli ('nrolimiy < oinr lo <eorj(iH fo Fltflit it llurl Hut Are Arrented lly the Police—A Queer Fliilil. Yesterday morning Chief Christian, of the police force, received information which led him to believe that two young men from Allendale, South Carolina, Messrs. E. li. Allen and L. B. O’Brien, bad come to Georgia for the purpose of lighting a duel in Georgia, and were both iu Augusta. He immediately had warrants for their arrest issued by Justice A. B. Crump and placed in the hands of Lieutenants King and Prather. Lieut. King found Mr. Allen at the Planters’ Hotel. When accosted by name by the officer he denied most emphatically that such was his name. The officer happened to know better, however, took him in charge and carried him to Justice Crump’s office. Soon afterwards Lieutenants King and Prather found Mr. O’Brien in a carriage in front of Mr. E. A. Dunbar’s store, en Broad street. He also was escorted to Justice Crump’s office. When Lieutenant King arrested Mr. Allen he found on his person anew Colt’s army revolver, a small howitzer. Mr. O’Brien bad a small Colt’s pistol, also new. Mr. O’Brien was on his way to Sand Bar Ferry and Mr. Allen was waiting for a horse which ho had ordered from one of the stables, for tho purpose of going to the same place. They were going to the place of meeting alone, neither hav ing h second or u physicun to accompany him. A verbal challenge only had passed. When confronted with Justice Crump, both protested vehemently against the proceeding and denied that any chal lenge had passed or that they had any intention of fighting. Mr. E. A. Dun bar, a relation of Mr. Allen and a con nection of Mr. O’Brien, who was pres ent, informed the Court that both gen tlemen had told him they intended to light and he knew that such was their intention. The Court required each party to give bond iu the sum of one thousaud dollars to keep the pence towards the citizens of Georgia and each other iu particular. Mr. Dun bar thereupon offered to go upon the bond of both. Mr. O’Brien protested against the decision of the Court and said he desired to nppeal the case and give an appeal bond. The Justice in formed him that he would have to give the peace bond. Mr. O’Brien continued to protest, whereupon Mr. Dunbar gravely remarked, “Well, suppose yon go to jail for two or three days; it will give you time for reflection.” Mr. O’Brieu thereupon concluded to give the bond. Both gave tho reqnired bond, Mr. Dunbar going bail for them, and wore released. Mr. Dunbar took possession of their pistols and inform ed them that he would sor and the weap ons to them in a few days, when they bad bad time to cool off. They left for Allendale last night, on the fast train of the Port Royal Railroad. Air. O’Brieu and Mr. Allen are broth ers-in-law, the former having married the latter's sister. Mr. O’Brien is a lawyer at Allendale, and Mr. Allen is a plaiitor. They had a difficulty in Allen dale Thursday, resulting in a hand to hand tight, iu which Mr. O’Brieu was worsted. Mr. O’Brieu tbeu invited Mr. Alit'u to meet him at Sand Bar Ferry, on the Georgia side, Friday, and tight it out. This proposition was promptly accepted by Mr. Allen, and both came up on the Port Royal train, reaching Augusta Thursday night. Both stop ped at the Plauters’ Hotel. Neither had any weapons, but each purchased a pis tol aitor getting to Augusta. They in tended to have no seconds, but to go to the Ferry by themselves and light it out, and were on the eye of proceeding to the duelling ground when they were arrest ed by the police. Kmi| ration. Hon. Win. O. Foley, who is connected with the United (States Emigration So ciety at Itidiauapolis, writes to Dr. H. K. Casey, of Colombia county, as fol lows: “My last, which you had published in the Cbroniclk and CoNSTrrrrioN'AL ist, brought me a great number of let ters with reference to our new organisa tion. I believe it is an institution which will supply a long felt want. It is not the intention of its incorporators to limit its operations to any particular field, bat try rnd be able to furnish the j emigrant any information he may want j with reference to any locality in the! United States—especially the Southern I aud Western States, which offer the most desirable fields for the emigrant at this time. What we want now is par-! ticular descriptions of such tracts of laud as are for sale; location with refer ence to present or prospective railroad hues, navigable rivers, productions, quality of soil, etc. The most desirable ; tracts would be those large enough to j locate colonies of from 50 to 100 families upon, giving to each 70 to 80 acres of land. We can get emigrants in every Northern community. Large cities have hundreds in them who would go South if they knew whew to go or had some one to go along with them. At a meet ing of workingmen in this city the other night to consider the question of going to Mississippi, one hundred heads of families signified their intention of going South.” * ' ’ ; " The tVirreolH llippcr. Messrs. H. W. J. Ham and John A. Shivers, of the above named popular weekly, were yesterday in the city. Mr. Ham, now of the Old Capital, at Mil ledgevilte, has sold ont his interest in the dipper to Mr. Shivers, who be comes its editor and proprietor. This gentleman has already developed con siderable ability in editorialising, hav ing been upon the staff of this paper for some time, and we trust will enjoy a protracted career of usefulness and profit.

Oglesby, Esq., is announc ed as a* candidate for the Legislature from Elbert. There is some talk of sending Col. Thompson, of the Savannah News, to the Legislature. The Gainesville Eagle don’t want to see any Nominating Conventions in North Georgia. R. E. Sadler, Eeq., of Hart county, is a candidate for Senator from the Thirty first District, subject to primary election. Hon. Wot Tuggle, of Troup, is quot ing Scripture over the capital question. We were not altogether prepared for this. Rev. Josephus Hillman, of McDuffie, declining to squabble for the Senator ship from the 29th, withdraws from the race. The Waynesboro Expositor thinks that sentiment and prejudice have taken the place of reason in the capital ques tion. The Gainesville Southron thinks that if Gen. Toombs declines to ran Senator Gordon need have no fears abont re eiection. The Eatonton Messenger suggests that the adoption of the new Constitu tion effectually does away with the rota tion system. There are in some sections clamors for scrub races, but iD, by far, the majority of counties, party organizations are be ing inviolably maintained. Hon. Farish Furman, Sam Small, Esq., and 001. Spaulding had a lively contest over the capital qnestion, in Newton county, last week. Upson county claims the Senator this time, as she has not had the honor to furnish him since the district composed cf Talbot, Harris and Upson counties was formed. The Athens Georgian believes that Mr. H. G. Wright “would wield an in fluence in the Legislature commensurate with that he exercises through his ably edited journal.” At a primary election, in November, Harris county wilt nominate one of the following gentlemen : Hon. W. I. Hud son, Messrs. Wm. Luttrell, Beaf Bran non, Jesse Cox, Jos. Miller and Hon. L. L. Stanford. Messrs. A. J. King, G. 8. Black, 8. C. Trout, P. L. J. May, Wm. Waters and Jno. Reese are announced for the House from Floyd. The Rome Tribune favors a free race. ■The Elberton Gazette submits that Samuel Lumpkin, Esq., is not properly before the Thirtieth District until Madi son and Elbert counties, by county or district convention, ratify the nomina tion made by Oglethorpo. The Beriven county Democracy pur pose to nominate a candidate for the House October 29th. They ratified the new Constitution in mass meeting and invited Burke and Bulloch to meet them to select a Senator from the Seventeenth District. The Savannah News endorses the Co lumbus Enquirer, and says: “WithGen. Toombs tiß the next Governor of the State, General Gordon in the United States Senate, and the capital again at Milledgoville, Georgians ought to be satisfied and happy.” The Constitution smirks because a minstrel troupe is going to perform in the Milledgoville Capitol to-night. Why bless your soul, there has been darker doings than burnt cork operas enacted ’neath Kimball’s Atlanta Opera House. The Atlanta Constitution has this which will find a hearty response in the Nineteenth District: “Hon. George F. Pierce, Jr., of Hancock, will doubtless be the Senator from his district. Mr. Pierce is entitled to all the honors which his people can place upon him.” Of Major Gauahl’a review of the Con stitution, the Gainesville Eagls says : “It bears the impress of genius, and is so entirely free from the clap-trap of the demagogue and the sophistry of the office-seeker, that it deserves, and will doubtless receive, the most respectful attention.” MAJOR <3 AN A Hl.’* NOTE*. Savannah, Ga., October 11. Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist: I have read, with very great interest Mr. Ganahl’s “Notes on the new Consti tution,” but regret that, while he shows great ability as a critic and scholar, he probes the wound and leaves it without applying a healing balm. He is correct in many of the positions he takes, but if he wishes any heed taken to his warn ing, lie must prescribe a remedy. Should the people vote for or against the new Constitution, is the question. In the main it is admitted by all to be a good instrument. That there are some seri ous objections to it cannot be denied. One of the chief objections, in my judg ment, seems to have been overlooked by Mr. Gauabl. Under the new Constitu tion, if I understand it correcWy, the Legislature has no power over taxation, and any acts passed by the Legislature ‘‘exempting property from taxation other than that declared exempt by the Con stitution shall be void.” This makes every thing that a man may own, if it be but a dollar’s worth, and all pro ducts of the soil, and all farming in struments, etc., manufactured in the State, the subjects of taxation. But I ask Mr. Ganahl would it not be best to* ratify the instrument for the good it does oontaiu, and leave to the futnre the making of such amendments as will be found necessary from time to time ? The old Constitution will not do and we certainly cannot go to the ex pense of holding another Convention for some time to come. It seems to me this is the best way to make a Constitu tion any how, for then each want of the people is separately dismissed and acted upon without the baneful influences which naturallv arise in large legisla tive bodies. Were we to hold a dozen Conventions would there be any guaran tee that a better instrument would be the result? Very respectfully, yours, J. Lawton Whatley. .Vlormnry.

Yesterday morning an old negro man named Yancey Kennedy, employed by Drs. Hatton {and Heery to take care of their office, was fonnd dead in his bed in a room in rear of the office, on Camp bell street. His little son, aged about five years, was sleeping calmly by his side. Dr. Hatton had frequently warned the old man to be prepared, as he was liable to die at any time from heart dis ease. Acting Coroner Leon held an in quest over the body. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased came to his death from heart disease. itfdnci The jury in the case of the State vs. Columbus G. Barnes, charged with the murder of Mr. Rosier, in Sparta, re turned a verdict of not guilty. This is s great triumph for A. M. Da Bose, Esq., who represented the defendant and who, satisfied that his client was innocent, has worked energetically iu his behalf, leaving not a stone nntarned that would disclose any evidence in favor of the i accused. I HON. J. B. CUMMING. Atlanta, Ga., October 7,1877. Editors Atlanta Constitution: One of the surest evidences of the purpose of the people at Urge to ratify the new Constitution is the evident dis position manifested all over the State to send wise and prudent men to the next Legisiatnre. It is obvious the people intend to have men who are competent to perform the delicate and highly re sponsible trust of adjusting the laws to the new order of things under which we are to live in the future. And this is as it shonld be, for snrely when the State proposes for herself anew regime and a grander development of all her resources than for many years past she has been able to realize, she should bring into her conncil chambers her ablest, wisest and best. In this connection, I have noted with unusual pleasure the decided movement being made in old Rich mond county to bring from his modest retirement and retnrn to the Senate the Hon. J. B. Camming. I trust the partiality of a deep and abiding friend ship will be sufficient apology for a citizen of Falton county to express his preference for the representation of a District in which be does not reside. Well does the writer know that the Dis trict has many able and excellent men to represent it, but he may be pardoned for expressing the opinion that no abler, truer or more suitable man than Major Camming can that District, or aDy other in the State, boast. “Joe Cam ming,” as his intimate friends call him, is a man of marked and striking indi viduality. He is full of the noblest and most manly impulses, brave as Cassar, courteous as Chesterfield, and an kind and tender hearted as he is sensi tive and honorable. Acquainted with him long and well, I know where of I affirm when I say that he is ever ready and prompt to es ponse the cause of the weak and op pressed, both as a lawyer and as a man. The poor know that his is the sympa thizing heart and the generous hand. Major Camming is eminently fitted for a grave and dignified Senator, for he has a very large amount of what Monsieur Giuzat called “the genius of humanity— common sense.” There are few men of sounder practical judgment, or who are better or more generally read, or who have a more thorough education—hay ing been trained by the best schools in this country and Europe. Asa speaker, he is calm, deliberate, argumentative and impressive; as a writer, strong, lu minous and elegant; and both as speak er and writer, always dealing in the purest English. His deep interest in the great questions of finance, agricul ture and general edncatioD, and his large and enlightened views upon all of these and cognate subjects, give him a value at this time as a representative which it is gratify ing to see; that old Richmond, whose re nown has been illustrated by such men as John P. King, Geo. W. Crawford, Lougstreet, Jenkins, Miller and a host of other noble Georgians, fully appre ciates, and intends to call into requisi tion. In honoring such a man the fa mous old oounty will be true to her dis tinguished history and honor herself. Fulton. Local and Business Notices. Notices in This Column, 20e. per line.

To a man or woman without an appe tite, “the best the market affords” pre sents little or no attractions. The sooner such a hapless individual puts the gas tric organ in a condition to enjoy the edible comforts which a bountiful Provi dence has provided, the more reason there will bo to feel grateful for the sug gestion. To do this, invigorate the stomach with Hostetter’s Stomach Bit ters, which will enable that organ to di gest properly, and, s uce good digestion is the parent of appetite, give birth to a desire for food at the intervals appoint ed by nature. With chronic want of appetite are usually associated nervous ness, biliousness and constipation, three evils which are speedily overcome by the Bitters. All persons of a dyspeptic or bilious tendency should use this health ful tonic daily, or at least three or four times a week. A pursuance of this oourse will soon insure and confirm a radioal chauge for the better in the con dition of the stomach and associate or gans, oct9-tuthsa&w Dr. Price’s Flavoring Extracts require much less in quantity, and when used iu cakes, puddings, etc., makes them delicious. i— St. Georoe’s Hall for Boys, 14 miles from Baltimore, on the Western Maryland Railroad, re-opens September 5, 1877.

Liverpool, October 12.—The circular of the Liverpool Gottop Brokers’ Association, in its review of the cotton trade for the week ending last night, says cotton was in unusually active demand during the early part of the week, with a marked rise in prices; but on Tuesday afternoon the market became quiet, and since, with a comparatively limited business, part of the advance has been lost, though quotations are still full }d. above last Thursday’s prices. American was in extensive request early in the week, at an advasce of fully }d. since Tuesday, with less doing. Prices have been irregular, and l-16d. to }d. of the extreme advance has been lost. Sea Island is steady, with moderate sales. Futures opened strong, with an active demand, and continued so until Tuesday eve ning. Avery large business taking place dally—and the advance amounting to }a9-32d. since then, owing tb increased receipts at American ports—there has been considerable pressure to sell, and prices have declined }d. from the highest rates of Tuesday.
