And woof the local department also con
gratulate Col. J. R. Sneed, and the friends and pa
trons of the Savannah Republican, upon his assum

editors in Georgia, and will at once advance that to
the front rank of journals in the South.
Demorest’s Magazine, for November, just re

Demorest’s Mirror of Fashion for November. It is
full ofsplcndld illustrations, and fully up to the
standard of any previous number.
m- We saw a fishing smack the other day in a
gentleman’s front yard, in the rear portion of the
city. It looked very like a small ship. It is said
to have been built for the oyster and fish trade,
and that it will first be used in transporting its
builder and his family down the river to the sea
coast
l-?TIn answer to many inquiries as to when the
new Court-house will be commenced, we will state
that nothing has been done as yet, so far as we
know, nor do we know what the committee are
waiting for, or that they are waiting for anything.
Like everybody else, we hope they will commence
work immediately and push it with the greatest
energy. They cannot hope to get through with a
building of that size and proportions under one
year from the time the first stone is laid, and be
fore that time we will have no place to hold court.
The necessity for anew jail is even greater.
13?” The vulgar and outlandish Grecian Bend
business has as yet made a failure in the South. It
is a ridiculous fashion, but not more so than the
“style” now in vogue with some of the other sex.
We saw a specimen of it last Sunday: He had a pair
of feet which measured with the shoe twelve full
inches. The pants were as tight as he could get in
to, and the coat terminated just after the beginning
of the pants. The hat was oval, with long arms
and a sledge hammer hand sticking out from the
sleeve, dangling about perfectly loose. The whole
was a more comical thing than we ever shall write.
Still it was the very “height of fashion.”
I3F" How calm, serene and glorious was yester
day. The balmy breath sweeping up from the
ocean and creeping through the lattice, whispered
that it was that of Spring until memory and the
calendar said that it was not true. We have had no
frost. Here and there throughout the forest are
sombre leaves, but they have died of age, or like
the old centenarian who dies without disease, the
machinery of life has simply run down. There is
a divine purity and glory in these elements in hor
rible contrast with “man and his corruptions.” He
is only happy who has his feet on the earth and his
thoughts above the stars.
For Liverpool Direct. —We see eight or nine
ships at Savannah advertised to take cotton to Liv*
erpool direct, and why not ? What is the use send
ing it to Now VoA, iLoro 4*- 4.
docked, re-classed, commissioned, drayed, stored,
wharfed, and a string of about fifteen items of
charges placed against it? It would seem the
surest road to fortune for the speculator would be
to make his arrangements at Liverpool and send it
direct from Snvannah. Let it be compressed here
in Macon, and ship it direct to the ships going to
sea.
To Painters. —We must certainly say to you
that in supplying yourselves with white or blue
ink, or red, or any other color, you cannot do better,
though you send a thousand miles, than can be
done atourold Wooden Corner Drugstore. Zeilin
& Cos. seem to be determined to put a good color
on everything, and have provided themselves in
such a way as to be enabled to sell everything the
Painter use of the best, purest and cheapest. Save
time, money, and reputation by buying of them the
best Liberty Lead and Colors.
The Cotton Crop of 1868.—We made a careful
estimate five or six weeks ago, that the total amount
of cotton which would be raised in the Southern
States, would be 2,100,000 bales. Since then the
caterpillar and heavy rains have been destroying it
very rapidly. We see a carefully prepared table
showing that the crop will not go over 1,800,000.
We doubt exceedingly if it reaches a grand total of
2,000,000.
The Factories of the United States, the United
Kingdom, Germany and France demand 2,600,000
bales of American cotton to supply the demands of
trade. They cannot get this amount from ns this
year, for the simple and plain reason we hav’nt got
it. And right here is the planter’s opportunity to
get a full price for his crop.
Huff.— With a view of lightening the pressure
for some time existing upon our advertising col
umns, our friend, Huff, very generously yielded
his place in our “ picture of busy life,” tor the past
two weeks, that we might give our other friends a
better showing. For this he has our thanks ; but
it was nothing more than we expected of the man,
knowing bis liberal and accommodating style of
treating all with whom lie has business relations.
It Is, therefore, with much pleasure that we give
place to one of Mr. Huff’s large and characteristic
advertisements, to be found on our second page.
From it, planters and other buyers of articles in
his line, will see what he has to say on the question
of provender for man and beast, as well as bagging
and ties for the new crop of cotton. -*Y
Bye-the-bye, Huff, not content with starting
tliat Chattanooga house, has formed a business
connection with Mr. J. N. Masou, for furnishing
the celebrated Concord Buggy and Woodruff Wag
ons, to his many customers iu any number desired
by them.
Their arrangements arc also perfect for furnish
ing enstomers with any description of vehicle
needed, at much less cost than when ordered di
rect from the manufacturers by individuals.
To his numerous enstomers, we have no word of
commendation to offer, as they know Mr. Huff
too well to need anything in that shape to induce
further patronage on their part. Strangers have
hut to try him once to try him again.
|aar There Is always life and animation around
the Family Grocery and General Provision Store
of T. W. Freeman. The reason for this is he
always lias a spleudid stock of something good to
eat. Hardly a day passes but he lias an especially
choice article either of domestic prodnetion or
inter-State importation. We saw yesterday an
elegant display of fresh candles Just opened, and
from the best manufactories in New York. He had
also a fine display of American fruit, Indeed the
whole extensive establishment has been replenlsli
' ed with just about the best goods It has ever yet
contained. By the way, Mr. Freeman is prepared
to set as fine suppers as any one may wish tor wed
ding aud other parties. All that Is necessary Is for
Demons wishing them prepared to give him the
order and indicate aboot the amount it must cost
He Intends to make this a specialty daring the fall
and winter season.

Compkessino Cotton. —Some gentlemen are dis
cussing the practicability, and whether it will pay,
of putting up a Cotton Compressing Press, to be
mn by steam, in Macon. We understand a Con
federate General has a patent recently taken out for
one of these presses, which is simple and cheap,
and which can be successfully run by a twenty
horse power engine. It is claimed that it will re-
every b|le to one-third the size we ordinarily
It is a fact not generally known, that the steam
ship companies rnnuing between New York and
Savannah, as well as others interested in our com
mercial marine, have these presses in operation,
and that nearly every bale is compressed before be
ing taken on board. They are obliged to do this,
in order to reduce bulk and thereby enable them
to carry more than twice the amount. Not a bale
of cotton crosses the Atlantic without first being
compressed. .
The New York and Savannah Steamship Com
pauies paid Bixty cents for this work last year, and
are how paying forty. The main questions enter
ing into the establishment of one here are, will our
railroads pay anything for the reduction of bulk?
and will shippers pay anything to have their bales
put in perfect order for marine transportation,
without being subjected of going through that pro
cess ot another point ? And can the money thus
paid out be got back from the steamship lines,
either directly or indirectly, or by a reduction of
freight upon cotton so compressed ? We think
so. If they for such work in Savannah, they
would pay for it here just as readily.
A common platform car will carry about thirty
bales, which is as mnch as can be conveniently
piled upon them. But if reduced by one of these
presses, say only one-half, forty-five bales could be
put upon it. We make these suggestions to
those who wish to embark in anew enterprise,
which we believe, if properly managed, could be
made to pay handsomely. The capital necessary to
stait it would not be very great, not over $1,500 or
$2,000, at the outside.

COUNSEL FOR THE CARELESS. *
T.Ve body is a machine, and carelessness in its
management is as sure to lead to evil results as
oarlessness la the management of a steam en
gine. Yet the last thing that most people think
of is the protection of this delicate piece of the
Creator’s handiwork from the snbtle causes of
disease by which it Is surronnded. It is no easy
thing to repair the bj stem when In mins; but
there Is no difficulty In fortifying it against many
of the dangers to which it Is exposed. Guard
against nervous debility. At the first symptom of

Speech of John Quincy Adams at Columbia.
Charleston, Oct. 13.—John Quincy Adams last
night addressed an immense meeting of the South
Carolina Democracy in Columbia. His speech was
long and elaborate, breathing the same moderate
and conciliatory spirit as his recent letter. In re
ferring to the pending political struggle, he said :
“Yonr relations to the political parties at the
North have a very important bearing upon your
fate; at all events jnst now, and demands careful
meditation. Most of you, doubtless, regard the
success of the Democratic party as essential to your
release from your present situation; but it is my
duty to remind you that men in your position have
no right to be bigoted partisans. You must, of
course, feel a deep interest in the sucess of those
who espouse your cause, and you may properly
exert all legitimate Influence to promote their sue.

from any source. I have already deprecated un
reasonable and unextinguishing hostility to the
Republican party. I would now warn you against
an absolute and exclusive devotion to any party.
If the Democracy succeed in electing their candi
dates, you will be subjected to temptations as trying
as the demand upon yonr sufferance may prove. In
case General Grant is chosen, hasty, ill-considered,
passionate or violent action In that event would be
almost sure in the end to turn to your discomfiture
and render your last estate worse than tho first
And yet it will require a cond deal rJ «ai f /.runmonA
w control the re-action from this depression, but
the country in that event will be so severely di
vided and so greatly excited that a small thing may
Induce a terrible catastrophe. On the other hand,
in case of Gon. Grant’s election you will be called
on to exercise, a while longer, your patience and
forbearance. lam sure it will be rewarded in tho
end. 1 do not believe that General Grant is your
enemy. I feel sure he moans kindly towards you
aud will do justice und show mercy In his course
to you.
“A large mass of Republicans will help you If
you will do your best to help yourselves. A great
majority of all tho North only await to be sure it is
safe to take you cordially by the hand once more.
Bide then your time. In either event possess your
souls In patience. Call to yonr aid that grandest
of all human qualities, self-control, and all will yet
be well.”
Mr. Adams’ address was well received. Speeches
were afterwards delivered by Hampton and others.
Tho meeting was tho largest ever held In this
State.
