In June last the dwelling house of Mr. Samp-' son Lanier, in the lower part of Qwinnett county, was burned during the temporary ab sence of the family from home. It was believed to have been the work of an Incendiary, which has tumed out to be the fact, and that George * hilllpe. a negro living in the vicinity, is the guilty party He was arrested a few days since and made a clean breast of his part in the transaction. His statement of the method used in breaking into the house.and description of some new dress gsods Mrs. Lanier, had left in her trunk, satisfied the parties that he told the Truth He implicated another negro, who e name we did not learn, and a colored woman by the name of Carmella Hendricks. The woman was also arrested and is in jail. Bhe bitterly denies any connec tion cr knowledge of the crime. On the night in question she was at George’s house, and one of her children got lost. After hunting for it over the neighborhood it was found under the bed asleep, and she retired to her bed, and George left directly afterwards II and was gone all night. There were only two tracks goinr to and from the house.and it is believed they were made by George and his | accomplice,who hag left the country. Whether I the woman knew anything of the crime is left I in some doubt, but it is tolerably clearly set- I 1 tied that Phillips was one of the party who burned the residence and carried oIT the goods. Atlanta Constitution “For several weeks I Macon, Home and Dalton have been using strong efforts to induce the East Tennessee. Virginia and Georgia Railroad to locate their shops in their respective cities. Knowing this, we yesterday inquired of Major McCracken, the superintendent, what was being done in rela tion to this matter. The Major said he had been giving the subject his earnest attention, that cn yesterday a citizen of Atlanta had of fered to donate the company ten acr-s of land that would suit for this purpose, but that the company already owns twenty acres of land in Macon, which requires no grading to make it ready for the shops, and that he had ex pected the company would merely en large the shops now at that point, and make them serve for the who e division. He said, however, that having been pressed to do so, he had consented to telegraph the general manager, asking if the shops could be located here, provided the people of Atlanta would turnish the ground and pay for grading it, so as to put Atlanta on the same footing as Macon in that respect. No reply to this dis patch hid been received up to last night. We have no doubt the necessary means to secure this prize f r Atlanta can be promptly made up. A committee of citizens will at once can vass the city and raise the necessary sum, which we hope will secnre the shops, and thus give Atlanta another push on the road, of pro gress, and towards securing for her 100,000 in habitants at no distant day. If the shops for the 400 miles of road comprising the Pouthern division of this great system are located here, the trains will run each way frpm Atlanta, making a centre or radiating point. It w.ll give employment to over five hundred men, thus making a certain acquisition to our popu lation. and an increase or our local business.

NATIVE SUGAR. A PLEA FOR LOUISIANA'S IN TERESTS. !*lnre Protection Ashed—The Present Duly Alleged to be Inadequate— c.rowtla or Cane Cnltnre Since the W*r—The Value ot the Crop and the Amount Paid for Labor. Long Branch, August 18.—Mr. John Dia mond, of New Orleans, was the first person who had a hearing before the Tariff Com mission this morning. He read a plea in behalf of the Louisiana sugar industry, stating its past history, Its great depression, the causes inducing the same, Its present condition,lts seeming revival,its possibilities in the near future, and the resulting advan iagest herefrom to the country at large. Hav ing stated some facts as to the past and pre sent sugar production of Louisiana since the outbreak of the war, when It was equal to one half of the entire consumption of the country, he said that, the present minimum protection of 2 19 cents per pound was not equal to the excess of the cost of American free labor over the slave labor of Cuba and the cheap labor of the tropics. The sugar planters o' Louisiana only asked to be pro tected from that slave and cheap labor, and then with American energy, industry and machinery, they would defy the world to surpass them. If the commission should conclude to diminish the existing minimum duty on sugar, the sugar planters would ask It to re duce also the duties on machinery and all other articles used in the production of sugar. This was a question of vital Im portance to the Louisiana sugar industry, being its chief support and one to which its fertile lands are well adapted. It was the almost, exclusive support of from 350,000 to 400.000 people, and em ployed #90,000000 of capital. The fre quent agitation of the sugar tariff, re sulting in the security of the capital inter ested in sugar productions, had prevented that development of the industry which might fairly have been expected. Louis iana had millions of acres of land, the most fertile ln the world, and peculiarly adapted to the production of sugar. The crop of 1880-81 had sold for about #22.000,- 000,and of that amount about #15,500,000had been paid for human labor and had been the chief support of about 400,000 people. The supplies which they consumed were pro duced in other States, and they contributed largely to the support of two or three hundred thousand people more. The de struction of Louisiana’s sugar interest by failure to protect it against slave and other low grades of labor would thus Imperil the subsistence, stop the progress and endanger the support of some seven hundred thousand people. The earnings of unskilled labor in Louisiana were three and a half times the cost of the same labor In Cuba. The sugar planters of Louisiana had ten millions in vested in machinery alone, and they were enormous consumersof Pittsburg coal. They did not complain of the tariff, which ex cluded them from buying cheaper foreign machinery, coal, dry goods, etc., but they did ask that, if the present, Insufficient protection on sugars be diminished, foreign markets should be opened to them by a like reduction of duties for the articles which they consumed. He thought a duty of 3% cents per pound on sugar would afford ade qua’e protection. Mr. Wm. T. Hoyt, an appraiser in the New York custom house, gave his views on the subject of the cotton tariff, and re commended a simplification of existing provisions. , GARLAND THE DUELIST. Furtber Tetllmonv tu tbe Case. Lunenburg C. H.Va., August 18 —lnterest in the Garland murder trial is unabated. Peo ple from all sections of this and adjoining counties continue to flock to the court room. The examination of witnesses for the de fense being resumed to-day, John Roach was called to ihe stand. He testified to meeting Garland and Boswell on the road the day before the shooting Garland asked witness to accompany him down to the intersection of the woods and mill roads to have a conversation with refer ence to the misunderstanding between him and Addison. Witness also testified to Boswell’s returning from Wedderburn’s mill and saying Addison was not there. Also to Boswell’s going to the mill next day, and returning to the scene of the conflict, accompanied by Addi son, and to the introduction that followed; to Garland’s asking Addison If he was the person who had written those insulting letters and to the duel that followed; to Addison being wounded, and to his saying that he was fatally hurt and was sorry he could not accommodate Garland any further. W. W. Boswell, a witness for the defense, being recalled, said that he was armed dur ing the shooting because he heard that Thomas Orgain, Addison’s friend, had said that, if Addison did not clean Garland out he would. Witness only accompanied Gar land to the scene to have an amicable set tlement of the difficulty. E. G. Bain, a witness for the defense, who sharpened a knife for Addison on the morn ing of the shooting, was not allowed by the court to testify to what threats Addison made at that time. George C. Oorgain, who at the time of the shooting roomed with the deceased, testi fied to having gotten a knife out of a pair of pants on the morning of the tragedy, but could not swear that they were Addison’s pants. After the examination of this wit ness court took a recess. After the recestf counsel for the defense asked to introduce as evidence a letter from Miss Mamie Hatchett, written from Sassa fras Fork, N. C., dated July 18th, in reply to Garland’s letter of the sth of July, In which the writer says that as he (Garland) had denied her charges, she had nothing more to say. This request provoked a pro tracted discussion between counsel, the prosecution claiming that such testimony woald not be legal, and the defense that it was legal and 6hould be admitted. The court rejected the letter. The testimony in the case, both for the Commonwealth and the defense, being c in cluded and counsel for tbe prosecution having asked further time to prepare in structions, the court adjourned until 9:30 o’clock to-morrow, wben the Instructions will be submi ted to the court and argument commenced. A lumber of ladles asked permission to attend court to-morrow, which Judge Perry granted. BAY STATE GREENBACKERS. General B. F. Butler Nominated for Governor.

Colonel Bllhs Conclude* Ilia Argu ment, Washington, August 18 —Mr. Bliss re sumed his argument in the star route cases, to day, and confined his review and an analyzed of tbe evidence relating to the routes set forth in the Indictment. He went Into the history of the expedition of the routes with great particularity, pointing out in each case a large discrepancy between the stock actually employed upon the route and the number set out ln the contractor’s affidavit. He showed how this discrepancy had invariably resulted to the benefit of the contractor and great loss to the department. He then devoted some time to a detailed examination of the peti tions upon which expedition had been ordered and endeavored to show that, they had been altered before their arrival in Washington In conclusion he summed up the facts, which he thought the government had proved, and expressed his belief that the jury, as men who had taken an oath, who desired to stand well before the community, who desired to stand well before their Maker, must find a verdict that the govern ment had been guilty of gross and out rageous conspiracy to defraud the United States. At the conclusion of Mr. Bliss’: speech the court adjourned until Monday, when Mr. Totten will argue for the defence. SOUTHERN SUNDAY SCHOOL AS SEMBLE Au Organization Effected—The Offi cers Selected.

The Actine Secretary of the Treasury re ceived a telegram to-day from the Mayor of Brownsville, Tex., stating that on account of the quarantining of that city by New Orleans and Texas, two tbousand people have been deprived of work and subsistence, and are dependent upon charity. He there fore asks aid from the government. The reply was made that the request for assist ance must come from the Governor of the Sta'e to enable the government to act. Brownsville, Texas, August 18 Thirty-eight ne *v cases aud one death oc cured from yellow fever to-day ln Browns ville. The fever is increasing among the Americans. The disease seems to be on the Increase In Matamoras, though the death rate is more favorable, there being only three deaths to-day. THE ROVING APACHES. Their Terrible Work In Sonora. TUBCON, Arz., Au.ust 18.—Advices from Guajmas, Sonora, of the 17th Inst., say that the Apaches are depredating fearfully and committing frightful atrocities in the Sah uaraha distr'et. At Taratue ranche they killed six men, passing Lamespolomy. They killed two In Lacuachilla and two in Arenl cahonda, and three or four hours after wards attacked Carriel, killing eleven women and a child, stripping the women and brutally outraging them and then put them to death by most cruel torture. The number of hostiles is two hundred, com manded by Jub, the Chihuahua chief, who escaped after the battle with Gen. Fuero last spring. Gen. Reys, with a large force, ia od tbe Sabuaraha district, and declares that he will not spare a man, squaw or pa poose, if he again encounters them. COTTON. .Total Receipt* Since September.

FURTHER ACTION OF THE COM MISSION. Another Plea for Vicksburg— The Changes In Allotments— I The Total Amount Apportioned The Re serve Fund. New York, August 18 —At yesterday’s session of the Mississippi River Commis sion a determination was retched to recom mend the approximate allotment of the sum of #4,123,000, which is for the im provement of the river below Cairo in the following manner: For the con tinuation of the work at Plenn Point, sixty miles above Memphis, #800,000; for a continuation of the work in progress, sixty miles above Vicksburg, at Lake Providence, #700,000; for work at New Madrid, seventy miles below Cairo #800,000; for work near Memphis and for the continuation of the work in the harbor of Memphis, #300,000; for various harbor works in addition and the balance now available, #123,000. and for the repair of levees by Ihe stoppage of existing gaps, #1,300,000. The sum of #lOO 000 also was lef’ unallotted for contingencies. The commission decided .at the work should begin on the east bank of the river, some miles above the mouth of the Yazoo, and should continue uoward. The com missioners recommend that the sum of eight hundred thousand dollars, which has been raised by local authorities, be applied in such way as to secure. In connection with the work done by the government, a con tinuity of lines of levees from below upward. With this end in view the com mission, In making the allotment, took Into consideration the amount of work likely to be done by local authorities. The work at Plenn Point and Lake Providence consists principally of narrowing the stream so as to increase the rapidity of the current and pre vent the formation of sand bars, which have a tendency to shift the channel of the stream. One of the proposed projects is to prevent by embankments a flow of the water of the Mississippi through Atchafalaya river. When the Mississippi rises its waters are often diverted into this channel, and an in creasing tendency has appeared of late on the part of the great river to shift Its chan nel entirely Into the course of tbe smaller stream, the result of which would prove dis astrous to the cities below. The Mississippi River Commission met again to day at army headquarters. Another appeal was made by the Vicksburg delega tion towards securing, if possible, a certain amount of money (#200,000; to carry on the work of improvement there. They seemed anxious that the dredging of the canal and basin in front of tbe elevator and levee should be carried out. The matter was postponed for the present. The commis sion decided to recommend the continuance and protection of Delta Point. The allotments made yesterday were re considered and a few amendments made, the principal of which are transfer of #lOO,- 000 pach from the allotment for New Madrid and Plenn Poiot, and #50,000 from that of Lake Providence to the unallotted balance. The allotments for these places as they now stand are: At New Madrid #700,- 000, Plenn Point #700,000 and Lake Providence #650,000. The other allot ments remain as before. For Memphis harbor aDd work, #50,000; closing gaps in levees, #1,300 000, and the contingent fund, #473,000 This makes up a total allotment of #4,123,000. The commission recommend to the War Department that immediate prepa rations be made to keep open the mouth of Red river by dredging as hereto fore at low water. The next meeting of the commission will be ln Bt. Louis early ln September. THE UNITED KINGDOM. The “P*ll Mali Gazstt*” oh Arreat-A Family JKWMMtMRMe Galway. London, August 18.—The Pall Mali Ga zette says: "Mr. Gray’s sentence looks worse to-day than it did yesterday. It is now a question whether Mr. Gray, as a journalist, has not been instrumental in unearthing a grave scandal. We do not believe there Is a single English journalist who would not have called attention to such a report as that mentioned by Mr. Gray. That Mr. Gray should be in jail is a scandal of the first magnitude.” A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Dublin states that the speeches delivered at the banquet given by Mr. Pmneil, after the conviction of Mr. Gray, have been submitted 10 the law officers for a decision as to whether any action should be taken upon them. Theo. Gorman Mahone, member of Parliament for county Clare, in a speech on that occasion, compared Judge Lawson to Jeffreys, and pointed out that the former had narrowly escaped being torn to pieces by tbe indignant people. Mr. Healey, member of Parliament for Wexford borough, denounced Judge Law son with similar violence. A man named Joyce and hi 6 entire family were murdered by a party of men last even ingin their own house near Cougin, county Galway. It Is believed in the locality that the Joyces gave information in relation to the murder of the bailiffs of Lord Ardllian, whose bodies were found bound together in Lake ‘Cong. The House of Lords and House of Com mons have both adjourned till the 24Gi of October. There was no formality observed, and not even a quorum of the House of Commons was present. THE TURF.

A Secret Expedition Ready to Start— Its Destination Told in Sealed Or ders Sufferings of tbe Rebel Wounded— Arabi’i Claims as to Hie Strengtb. London, August 18.—A dispatch from Alexandria, dated 11:20 a. m., says: “A division of the Guards and the Sixtieth Regiment are now embarking. The Gor don and Cameron Highlanders are going to Ramleh to form a nucleus of the Highland brigade under General Allison.” The latest dispatch from Alexandria says the fleet and transports are getting up steam. They will sail with sealed orders. The Daily News has the following from Alexandria : “The transports Orient, Ca pelia, Halmyra, and Iberia left the harbor here to day. Also another steamer, with railway wagons, rails and engines for le matlia. Guards with horses have gone to sea on board the transports Batavia, Orient ana Iberia. The greatest secresy exists in regard to the destination of the transports.” The correspondent of the News at Alexan dria says : “The enemy seems content with his intrenchments, doing little or nothing to Improve them. Rebei official returns state oo a^Jl B,r * orceß “umber 36,000 regulars, 38,000 militia, and 50 000 armed Bedouins. They claim to have 25,000 men at Kafr-el- Dwar.

Some of these poor creatures are said to have been shot by their comrades to free them from their misery. This state of things is due to the sanitary condition of the camp and the scarcity of doctors.” A dispatch to the Times from Bt. Peters burg says: "It is believed at Erzeroum, Asia that Russia is about to occupy the whole of Asia Minor to the Bosphorus. Owing to the undefended state of that part of Turkey the Russians could easily do this without much bloodshed.” A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Paris says: ‘‘lt is no secret that Russia is concentrating a formidable army in the Caucasus. The army, It is estimated, will number7B,ooo men.” Alexandria, August 18.—The transports Orient, Catalonia, Ashree and Nevada with troops on board have gone to the outer an chorage. It is supposed that the fleet will go to Aboukir and the troops to the Suez canal. The whole expedition is on board the ships ready £o start in the morning. Its destination is still uncertain.

It Foreshadows the Publication of Other and more Interesting Let ters. Washinaton Dispatch to New York Sun. The letter bearing ex-Benator Dorsey’s signature, addressed to General Garfield, concerning his Cabinet, was nothing new to General Arthur. Its publication at this time may have struck him curiously. About the choice of the time and the motives for making the publication there is some difference of opinion among the ex- Senator’s friends, including the lawyers de fending him and others from the charge of conspiracy. If the printing be justified on the ground that authorship carries the right to print, Dorsey was under obligations to consult Gen. Arthur before giving the letter to the public. The rightful use of the President’s veto might have prevented the publication. It is said that there exists a considerable number of letters to be added to the litera ture of the period marked by the date of the one just printed, the publication of which is only a question of time. Dorsey keeps the letters he writes and their answers. He has had for correspondents a wide range of public men Intimately connected with the bappenlDgs before and after Garfield’s nomi nation. In looking over his correspondence it would not be surprising should the ex- Senator, situated as he Is, feel prompted to let the public Into some of the doings of which he was so conspicuously a part. Tbe single letter just printed, signed by Dorsey, has a history which would doubt less prove interesting, if related with the events of the period when it was written. As one of many its publication has created a desire for others. This desire may yet be gratified. Supplemented by contemporary recollections, you can hardly imagine any thing of greater interest than such a publi cation would be. There are some bewitching styles in rib bons; those manufactured in silk faille are very durable, and have a yielding turn, easily knotted into single and double bows. The favored colors are lichen green, electric blue, terracotta, sunflower yellow and hemp shade. WASHINGTON GOSSIP. THE COMING REVENUE SURPLUS Wbat Will be Done WHb It—Tbe New Three Per Ceuta—A Novel Col lection of Cbecka—Tbe Georgia Radicals. Washington, August 17.— From present Indi cations, the advocates of a reductio a of tax a tion will have a firm grip given to them by the figures of the government receipts from all sources. The continual and increased piling up of the Treasury surplus is one of the best arguments that can be advanced for the reduc tion of taxation. It is also at the same time an argument for the Treasury spoliators who want to get their hands into the Treasury vaults. But the argument for decreased taxa tion cannot fall to be predominant. Especially is this view authorized by the fact that the chances are that the next House will be Demo cratic. Now for the figures, which I get from officers of the Treasury Department Those gentlemen say that the receipts of the government during the present fiscal year— i ch commenced July Ist last—are phenome nal. They are greater than was ever known before. The receipts the last fiscal year amounted to *405,000,000. This year, calculat ing on the basis of the money taken in bv the government since Julv -oth. the receipts will amount to *450,000,000. This will be by far the biggest re. ord that was ever attained by the government. The surplus, which will be enormous over the necessary expenditures.will have to be covered into the Treasury, spent on jobs or counterbalanced by a reduction of taxation. The chances are that it will be counterbalanced by a reduction of taxation, , ABOUT THE BONDS. As predicted in this correspondence some time ago, the application for the transfer of 3K per cent, bonds into 3 per cents, have been comparatively very small. Out of the whole *400,0f0,000 authorized to be transferred, applications for such transfer have been only received to the amount of *2OO 000,000, and from the daily receipts now at the der artment that would seem to be about the limit. The other *200,000,000 will have to be redeemed on the surplus revenues warrant. There can be no doubt that the surplus revenues will be adequately equal to the occasion. There is one point of peculiar interest in the transac tion under con There has not been a_ single application from England that the United States continued three and a half per cents., be converted iqto three per cents. The English holders want their bonds re deemed. as is natural, because they can invest the money in 3J4 per cent. English consols. It is a fact, however, worthy of especial comment that as long as the United States paid the same rate of interest—3l4 per cent.—as is paid by England the United States bond was preferred as an investment to the English consol. A COLLECTION Or CHECKS. Treasurer Gilflllan is accumulating a collec tion of checks which, in their entirety, will be of great interest. Mr. Gilflllan is treasurer of the Garfield Memorial Hospital, and receives all subscriptions thereto, in sums greater or less—generally less. Mr. Gilflllan is receiving checks from all over the world. All of the foreign checks are in themselves novelties They are written in the language prevalent at their place of issuance, and are all certified by some banking firm. The different forms of checks and the varied languages in wh’ch they are written form a most interesting collection. They would interest even a man who, like your correspondent, never had any occasion to write a check. The collection may be regarded as one of the interesting financial realities of the age. There was never before a collection of this character. SOME MOHE CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. R. D. Locke is, as you know, going to stump the State of Georgia in his candidacy for Congressman at large. This is rather hard on the State of Georgia, but like many other ills, she may be able to bear it. Locke is the Marshal, confirmed, of the new district in Georgia. But he does not intend to pay any particular attention to his duties In fact, he does not intend to pay any attention at all to them during the campaign E. C Wade, for merly Collector of Internal Revenue at Savan nah. who is to be Locke’s chief deputy, will take charge of the office and run it v ichout Locke’s supervirion until the election in Geor gia is over. Locke is going to devote himself exclusively to making speeches and manipulating things. In view of Georgia’s past political record there is a question as to what the effect of his speeches and his manipulation will be. At the same time s man might comment on the fact that there is not much civil service reform— hackneyed and almost meaningless phrase that Uftfedi States officer turning over bis dRUes to another iu or(jt>r that he may enter IpSSS' 'hat are ■ gquTft to do, or rather can do, isnmatter of infinite conjecture to anyone who wants to conjecture at all about it. But the association makes a great show—on paper —among the Republican prints of this city. The officers as yet elected are as follows: Jas. B. Deveaux, President; M. H. McWhorter, First Vice Presidens;J. G. Hutching. Second Vice President; H. H. Swearingen, Recording Secretary; J. T. Bivins, Corresponding Secre tary, and J. H. DeLamotta, Treasurer. Ex actly what need there is for a Treasurer is equally as questio> able as what necessity there is for the association itself. But now that it is completely reorganized let the Demo crats of Georgia beware. Beware 1 Potomac. Ex-l’resident Davis to Senator Hill. The following letters, which were written by ex President Davis to Hon. B. H. Hill, during the last fatal illness of the distin guished dead, have just been published: Beauvoir, Harrison County, Mi. ’y 19th, 1882 — Hon. B. H. HM: M>BB, Efc Dear Friend —1 am so solicitous* ‘your welfare that I write to ask for a rect information in regard to your health. Ever mindful of your generous and cordial sup port, given to me in times of trial and when in deepest adversity—times when the timid and self-seeking desert, as rats fly from a sinking ship, I have suffered in your suf fering and fervently prayed for your relief. For my sake, for your sake, for that of your family and of your country, now sorely needing your service, may our Father give you health and strength and length of days. Mrs. Davis is absent or she would join me in affectionate regards to your wife and children, as well B3 to yourself. Hopefully and faithfully yours. Jefferson Davis. Beauvoir, Harrison County, Miss., August 5, 1882 — B H. Hill, Jr.: My Dear Bir—Please accept my thanks for yours In resDon6e to my Inquiries about your father’s health. To gratitude and warm affection was added the conviction that there was no one who could fill the place of your father in the defense of our country’s honor and interests. Under the deep anxiety created by tbe newspaper reports, I felt impelled to ask for more reliable information, even at the hazard of untimely approach. I hope you may not pass through such ordeal as that to which I have been sub jected, and, therefore, never be able to comprehend tbe degree of my grateful re membrance of the constant and nerolc sup port your father gave to me through all the trials and disasters it was my fate to endure. lam thankful for the measured encour agement your letter gives, and earnestly pray that He to whom all things are possi ble may yet grant more than the expected relief. Give to your father the offering of my highest esteem and warmest love, in wbleh my family would unite, if not at present absent. My residence is quite near to the Mobile and New Orleans Railroad, and about mid way between the cities named, where I should be very much pleased to receive you. Faithfully, your friend, Jefferson Davis. Hon. J. L. Warren. Editor Morning News: As one who served side by side with the Hon. Jos. L. Warren in the Legislature of Georgia, I was highly gratified to see his indorsement for Congress by the unanimous Democracy of glorious old Chatham, for he is worthy and well qualified for the honorable and responsible position for which he has beennamed. There is no better worker In a legislative body in this district than he is, and if the vast field of Cod cress is opened up to him our people will become fully satisfied with the wisdom displayed In sending him there, for he wilt “illustrate Georgia” as nobly in the halls of Congress as did the illustrious and lamented Bartow In the field of the never to be forgotten Manassas. Having served In a legislative capacity for many years, I can truthfully say that I never knew of a better working man in such a body than he Is. He possesses a high order of talents, great tact and honesty of charac ter, sustained by a zeal that “knows no such word as fail.” Besides, in the dark and gloomy days of the persecu tions growing out of the reconstruction measures he did not only exhibit pluck and zeal in our cause, but was very liberal with his money offerings to sustain us in the days of our calamity. I am inclined to believe that when the representatives meet and consider the matter calmly they will send him forth as our standard bearer, and that he will carry it safely through to a glorious victory over “the flesh, the devil” and the Republican party.

A BONANZA FOR THE SOUTH. million* of Iff oner So be Iffnde from Cotton Seed—Tbe Profit* In the manufacture of Cotton Seed Pro ducte. New York Herald. , of the new era of prosperity for the South, Commissioner Kenner, of Louisi ana, said to day : “I made the prediction five years ago, and the present state of the business justifies the prediction, that the manufacture of oil and other products from cotton seed would within twenty-five years bring from one-fonrth to one-third to the South of wbat our section then got irom the staple Itself.” “And that means how much increase in your revenues ?” “Probably not less than *100,000,000. The business has entirely grown up since the war, and it is only within the past ten years that it has attained any Importance. There are now sixty five or seventy mills in oper ation or being erected, and tbe progress and profits of the manufac’ure are already as tonishing. When the chief mill in New Orleans was establihd ten years ago, we paid but from *7 to *lO a ton for the seed. Last year we were obliged to pay from *l6. to *l9 a ton. At first we could get such supply as we wanted along the water courses, and the transportation cost but. little. The demand has grown to such proportions that we must now go into the interior, and the difference in tbe cost of getting the seed to market makes the differ ence in the price to us.” “Why do you think the product will ever equal in value one-third of the cotton -rop itself?” r “For every bale of cotton—4oo pounds— there are 1,200 pounds of seed. Tbe annual cotton crop amounts to about six million bales, which would yield, after reserving the necessary seed for planting next year, about two and a half million tons of cotton seed. This seed, if manufactured into oil, oilcake and other produce, would yield in value not less than *75.000,000, and probablv *100,000,000.” P * “What are these products?” “All of this seed before the war, with the exception of that used for planting, was thrown away. We now buy all that we cu' get. With increased facilities of transpoiM tion, permitting the planters to ship thdg seed to the mills, the entire crop will utilized, because the profits of the manu facture, with the price at not more than twenty dollars a ton delivered at the mill, will induce the expansion of the business until the whole crop will be used. There will be always a ready market. All that is now made is readily sold. There are four products of the seed—the oil Itself, lint necessarily left on the seed In the process of ginning, the cake and the residuum left after clarifying the oil. The oil is used for table purposes and for cock ing; the oil cake for feeding animals and for fertilizers; the residuum for soap stock. Out of one ton of seed we get thirty six gallons of oil and about seven hundred pounds of cake, besides the lint and resi duum. The total value of the manufactured product yield a very handsome profit.” ls your market?” ‘ For the oil, Daly and the Mediterranean ports; for the cake, England and Germany. Of course, large quantities of both are also consumed in the United States. Good judges declare that where cotton seed oil Is well made and clarified it Is hard to tell the dif ference between it and the best olive oil. Both are vegetable products, and there can be nothing purer or more free from injurious effects upon the stomach than is cotton seed oil. I have no doubt that the time will come when It will be used with fully as much favor as the salad oil from Europe. It is now used by thousands who cannot detect the differ ence between it and olive oil. 1 look to its manufacture as one of the great factors of the future prosperity of the Bouth.” Southern Industries. ► Hon. Cassius M. Clay in Xwlustrysl South. 1 am tired of hearing the depreciating cry of VWe want Yankee brains and enterprise.” We don’t want any such thing—we want Southern brains and enterprise. What the Bouth wants is common sense and action. The old ruling class was not, and Is not, a more inefficient class than the same strata in New England. On the contrary, history shows that when we applied ourselves u> the thing m hand we excelled the North. abroad held superior, to the Nor'V £5 siCal hteveiopment they are, and hive been, superiors of the North. Slavery manufactures and commerce, and interfered with common education, and, therefore, was a block to most of the progress of modern civilization—mechanic arts, roads, build ings, ships, and all that. It prevented in ventions and the intelligent use of the meth ods already known. It warred against econo my and self-restraint. But slavery is gone, and gone forever, and the road to progress lies full and free before us If we take the old slave line as the border of the South, we have a Ja-per and better surface and soil than tbe North, and also better climes. We are the place of the great world staples, cotton, corn (maize), tobacco and rice. There are vast fields yet to be occupied with the sugar cane. The cotton and all these other staples should reach their highest preparation fer consumption here. We have all the minerals of the world. We have the clime for the best peaches, apples and cherries, not to speak of the orange, banana, lemon and the watermelon and many small fruits. The vine and silk culture must succeed here, if anywhere In America. The South has the best timber; the wood of the sunny clime is firmer, stronger and more varied than in the North, and its growth more rapid. When forestry becomes an art and culture, as it will, the Bouth will be the place of its highest suc cess. When sorghum and the sugar beet, the one for stock and the other for sugar, shall become great staples, and they will in time, the Bouth will belthe place for their culture. We have also the site for flax and hemp, and the best wheat and barley. There is plenty of capital in the South for all legitimate purposes. Where comes the money for our foreign travel, our summer watering places, our extravagance in house hold and personal decoration? We have enough to begin with, and more will Join us If need be, as In our new cotton factories. We should begin with the manufacture of such of our staples as maize, wheat end oats, in distilling and in grinding—ln wool as well as cotton. We should move slowly; first crawl, then toddle, then up and away as the boy and man I Let all the talkers of a city and village and cross roads get to gether and “strike out” by forming a joint stock company to make horse shoes, hoes, axes, especially the wooden parts of the same. For this, the best machinery known should be used, to save the expenditure of the labor. Much of this must be imported —import also the skilled men to operate it at the beginning, Everywhere let one In telligent man suidy the eurroundlrgs. At one place hoe helves, sneeds, chisel and axe handles and all that is best; at another coal mining, slate, clay and such Industries as are proper; staves, railroad ties and bar rels. I return again to the beet, for it must at some time rival cotton. The beet has not been a success in America, because it has been grown too far north—the Sonth is the place. The company should start on a small scale, raise some beets themselves, engage others, send prudent men to France aud other countries to study their ma chinery and methods, and then enlarge operations only with successful experience. I stake my reputation for judgment on this industry. Sugar is one of the greatest luxuries of life, is a most agreeble and wholesome food. It grows (the beet) In the finest and most healthy climes. It gives employment to men, women and chil dren, and the refuse is a most valuable food for live Block. Who will deserve the grati tude of all America and the world by mak ing tbe beet sugar cultivation a success ? Northern productions may excel ours in some things, but they are few. The potato does best there now under onr present cul ture, but the South has learned something about potatoes, and begins to rival them. Some Northern applee now excel ours, but It is because vermin do not destroy them. After long experience, I believe the apple is best south of thirty-eight degrees north. They have beaten us in hay only because we allowed them to do so. Their climate may allow them to excel us in summer grazing for cows and superiority therefore in butter and cheese. But the field lies open for coutest, because I know that last year, the driest ever known in Kentucky, the red clover remained green all through, and there is no better feed than red clover for cows, green or cured. In fishing tbe North now is ahead of us, but the South ia full of the finest fish, and the time la near when they will be utilized. All our sea coasts are full of fine fish, and if the carp, the “domestic fish,” succeeds at all, it must be in tbe South. We have but one thing to contend against, ind that is self-satisfaction. Some of the earliest fall suits will be of cheviot flannel, and Gilbert cloths of light texture in shades of huzzar and silver blue, dr&b 9 terracotta, Marl borough red, mahosf say brown, and neutral shades, aud will | e made dressy with buttons of cut steel.

IHE RECENT RECONNOISSANUE. An English Account of It. The London News has the following dis patch from Alexander under date of August 15: “Lieutenant Smlth-Dorrien’s account of his reconnoissance is as follows : “Lieutenant Hamilton and myself, after proceeding very cautiously about seventeen miles without, an escort, arrived at 2:30 o’clock on Tuesday morning within three hundred yards of the enemy’s cavalry camp. “The night was very dark and we were unable to get details of the position. We therefore decided to find a point which would enable us to see the camp when day light broke. We had not moved thirty yards when the enemy’s picket saw us and showed a bright light which was directly answered along the line. We ran about a mile and entered the lake about ons hun dred yards. “The enemy pursued us and spread them- \ selves aloDg the lake, completely cutting off our retreat. Their horses seemed to be afraid to face the water in the dark. The enemy’s system of signaling with lights appeared to be excellent. Our every move ment was flashed by the nearest man and flDb'weied the line. ta r Air Line 3L*. enemy did ->ot fire North, East and alarm any force ~ „ We tied a white hu! s a ? cu rfn the expectation of being captured,* but af terwards decided to make another attempt to escape.

The Guardian says: '• “We take exception to the latter finding, as the evidence adduced clearly confirms the contention raised on this side. It is evident that all through the replies pndeavor to repel the allegation of ‘willful adultera tion,’ and the warmth and strength of some of the words used show that the American Investigators dislike the word ‘willful’ com pletely, a3 applied to this question. In fact, the report published by the President of the National Exchange goes far to prove that the Americans find themselves Illustrating the well known reply of the barrister who wrote across his brief, ‘No case, blacken plain tiff’s attorney.’ That the investigation has been thorough there is no doubt, and for what it has brought forward in evidence the trade will appreciate, and, in so far as it will check the evils complained of, they will not regret the labor and effort made to arouse direct Interest in the alleged adulteration where it was needed.” Then, if “the investigation has been thorough,” what more does the Examiner want? What else would it have? If the case is to be reopened, well and good; but, according to all the rules of law, there should be some new evidence, or some new facts upon which to proceed. 111 *4KIM c POWDER Absolutely Pure.
