It is announced that a movement is

It is currently rumored that the
Central Railroad is the real owner of

Hint Mr. II. IJ. Plant, the ostensible

was arranged in order to evade that
provision of the Constitution which
prohibit- one railroad from purchas
ing another. We do not vouch for
the correctness of this report, howev-
Dr. Felton, the great original Inde
pendent, has declared what Indcpen-
dentism truly means, and has shown
what It lead* to, viz: Pure unadul
terated Republicanism. Can the peo
ple of Georgia stomach that? Will
the Seventh District go as strongly
for him now as they have heretofore
done? If so it i* time for the State to
look to her safety. The enemy is in

The returns of the late New York

It i* still bruited around that Gov.
Colquitt, if he fails'lo secure a second

The nbove paragraph is from the
pen of tlie editor of Felton’s Indepen
dent organ, the most unv-i iipuloti*,
the most hitter opponent of organiz
ed Democracy. He knows that surh
a step on the part of Colquitt would
dignify and strengthen the disaffect
ed wing, and would rejoice at such n
••onsumination. There is no truth in
the rumor. Governor Colquitt is a
Democrat. He helped luiild the par-
tv which has honored him, and if lie
tm not its choice in the approaching
nomination, we know he will yield to
its dictates, and champion the cause
of a legitimate leader.

W. II. Felton has renounced all con

Chronicle is right. A more wliole-

IIKIURT KOII TIIB MONTH OK OCTOBKII.
The following is tlie report of the
Committee on lufuiTiiatioii and Sta
tistics, of llie Savniinali Colton Kx-
linuge, based upon replies from va
rious counties in Georgia and Flori
da :
OBOIIOIA—MNETV-TllltKK IIKPI.IKS FIIOM
KIFTV-KIVK COUMTIKH.
The weather during the moiilli of
October was cloudy and rainy, until
about tlie 2illi; after Dint clear, and
on the whole was less favorablo Muni
lust year for gathering the crop.
There was a light frost in tho up
per counties of the Stale on the Hath,
hut the damage was very slight.—
About one-half of tho crop has been
picked and picking will be finished
from the 1st to 20th of December.
No estimate of the yield of this
State can he made at this time. Much
depends upon the weather during the
next ten days or two weeks. Since
the Altli of October it has been cleur
and favorable for opening the mti-
tiired bolls.
In Southern and Southwestern
Georgia llie prospect Is twenty-five
per cent below the yield of Inst year,
while in Upper Georgia the farmers
are very hopeful that tho out-turn
will equal or exceed last year.
The temperature during tho month
of October was warm mid sultry, and
tho continued rains, while tlinv in
jured the quality of the cotton, de
layed picking and retarded the open
ing of llie bolls, yet they hail tho ef
fect of pushing rapidly'to maturity
the young green holis of the top
crop—so much so that in various see-
lions many reports insist Dint witli it
favorablo; season and delayed frost
the yield from this late cotton will
not only equal but. limy oxenod the
amount gathered from the balance of
Ihc plant. A top crop, however, is
not general throughout Du; State. No
top crop or second growth euti be
found on sandy lands iujuicd by
rust, or in Southern Georgia whore
tlie caterpillar appeared.
FLOItlilA—SIXTEEN ItEFI.IES FltoM F.I.EV-

Not a sufficient number of replies
were received from Die upland dis
trict upon which to base a report.
In the sea island section the weath
er lias been too wet and less fuvorn
ldc than last year for gathering the
crop. No frost lias occurred, and
the weather since the 2.7th has been
elear. This crop will be inferior in
quality to the last, but, taking in
to consideration ihc increased acrea
ge, tlie yield is not apt to fall be low
that of last year.
event. .Cincinnati, Evansville am! ; f.mght for mine, and lo ;
Loiii-ville. Each ol those lines will j readv to trv il over again,
pour the current ol freight anil trav
el through Georgia. The three ocean
points touched will lie Brunswick.
Savannah ami Port Royal. We shall
have one line under llie control of
Messrs. Cole and Brown, embracing
the Nashville and Chattanooga
road, which stretches from Evans
ville lo Chattanooga; the Western
and Atlantic, which stretches from
Clmttaiiungn to Atlanta, and the Ma
con and Brunswick, which with its
extension will ruacli from Atlanta to
Brunswick. The second line will be
controlled, as far as wc are concern
ed by Mr. Wadley, and will comprise
only the Cincinnati Southern, which
connects Cincinnati with Chattnnoo-
gn. and the Central which, with the
extension from Carrollton, Will con
nect Savannah with Chattanooga.
The third line will he controlled by
the Georgia railroad people, w'c
should guess, and will comprise the
Louisville and Nashville, which
readies Birmingham now, through
Hie Alabama and Chattanooga which
it controls, will reach Atlanta
through the Georgia Western exten
sion, and will doubtless heie com
bine with the Georgia road for an
outlet at Port Royal. These three
systems completed would develop
the interests of the south in the most
wonderful degree. We should have
trans-Atlantic nnd South American
ships at each of our ports, anil direct
trade with ill the World would soon
he all accomplished fact.
Of course nil ibis development de
pends entirely and absolutely npnn
the successful leasing of the Macon
and Brunswick, in the spirit of the
bill providing for Die lease. If the
road is not leased or sold—if the
lease or sale is blocked in any way—
if it is postponeil or defeated wc
-hail have none of this development
because none of it will he needed.—
if the lease is affected, but the road
by any stratagem or assault fall* into
the linnds of the Central road or of
persons friendly to that road, these
developments will he blocked. In
that case Die lessees would simply
decline to lniild the extension. They
are allowed five years in which to do
it before the lease is perfected. They
would simply hold there nl for live
years, and then forfeit the lease and
give it up. The grand schemes that
we have outlined therefore depend
absolutely, as we have said before,
upon the successful leasing of the M.
& B. railroad, and its lease to persons
who are in no way connected with
the Central road, or interested in its
welfare. It is the key to the situa
tion, anil in the hands oftlic right
men will unlock va-t treasures and
inaugurate vast enterprises. Leased
to men who will Use il as the Stnte
designed, and extend il to Atlanta, it
will start, in our opinion, within
sixty days, t wo other extensions—one
from Carrolliou to Chattanooga, and
• lie otiier from Rii uiinghain to At
lanta.'’ _

A reporter of the Constitution call
ed on General Toombs, and after
reading tlif!s dispnteli to him asked if
it were genuine. The tieneral rend
it nnd then gently remarked tlml it
was about correct.
“It certainly represents my views,"
lie said : “1 did not intend to aiisw ei
llie editor’s dispntah in full. I mere
ly desired him to congratulate Gen.
Grant oil his safe return. I then
went on to suv that I was ready to
tight again for my cause—that of es
tablishing Die rights of the States to
secede. Why shouldn't 1 say il? 1
feel it—I mean it— it is in my heart
and why should I deny it? Why
should I crawl about and begin to
tell lies in my old age? I don’t like
the Union and they know it, and I
iiavo nothing to hide. The policy ol
suppressing sentiment is all preten
tious. Seymour got a bigger vote in
New York in TS than we have over
got since, and vve'va been choking
ihe North with butler ever since.—
The Union cannot last. Honest gov
ernment is impossible under the I-ItIi
and 1.7th amendments. Tlie Radi
cals injected 500.000 snags into tlie
belly of the Constitution, anil they
did it for the purpose of breaking
down our institutions. They will
succeed I hope and believe. Yes sir.
I telegraphed the Chicago man tuy
honest views. I spenk for no one
but mvsolf. and I don’t earu to tell a
d—d lie about it!’’
We do not see ourselves why Gen.
Toombs lias not a right to express
liis sentiments truthfully. Nor do
we understand that it is necessary
that hia utterances should have any
affect in the public mind.
It seems that tlie Radicals in Wash
ington arc much elated over Con
gressman Felton's late manifesto.—
The Wa-hingtoii Star says: “The
letter of Congressman Felton, of
Gcorgfc, which has just been publish
ed, i* oininious of a loss of the con
trol ol the House by the Democracy.
The Democrats hold the House of
Ueprosenatlves by n majority so
small that a single vote taken from
them anil transferred to the other
side would almost make a tie. It is
true the Republicans anil Grcculiack-
ers would have to vote together in
order to produce Ibis result, and that
is uoi very likly to happen. Should
the majority lose another vote, the
Grcenbackcrs would hold the balance
of power, and that is what the Dem
ocrats havu stood in fear of. Such
an opportunity would not he permit
ted by the “third party’ to pass
through their hands unimproved.—
The I • rceiibnekers have lost nearly
all their following, and. no doubt,
they would gladly avail themselves
of anything that promised to give
them a share ol patronage. In Ihc
orgniiizatioii of the House they wen-
rendered powerless only because the
Democrats had votes enough—nnd
just enough—to get along without
llicin. It is rumored, now, that Con
gressman Speer, of Guorgia,(will take
Ills stand beside Mr. Felton,"nnd Dial
Mr. A. II. Stephens will make the
third member who will hereafter re
fuse li> act and vote with the Demo-
er.Hs. It is true that Die House, hav

ocratic officers cannot lie gotten rid

—nil of them at least—to create a sim
ilar condition in the New Jorusalcm
—thank God ?”
The New York Herald speaks as
follows on General Toombs’ tele
gram :
“iVc trust that our readers will nol
lie alarmed by tlie dispatch sent by
General Toombs to Chicago in refer
ence to “tlie death of the Union.”—
Gon. Toombs is a frank, eccentric
person, who holds a position ill the
South something like Wendell Phil
lips in tlie North—doing wlint he
pleases, sa; ing what he pleases, no
body disliking him, and nobody ear
ing particularly what his opinions
are. except that they are frank, fresh,
origna! and generally amusing.
“General Toombs is in no position
to spenk for the Southern people on
any subject, mid nu effort to quote
any of his freaks as an exponent of
public opinion would do the South
great injustice.”
