AUOI'KTA. t*A.»
SUNDAY MORNING o*i. TANARUS, >*M
The TelegT*ph ttnottioa Again.
The Iwo “oM eatnhlwhed aatl respect
able journals” ofthi. CHr opened o« us
realenlay, with what was. doubtless, con
sidered by them most crushing rejoinders
to the f .cts and arguments on the sub
ject of tho Associate*! Press Dispatches,
to which we referred at some length in
our journal of Friday last. Egregious
error! Tho Dait.r Phkh, thanks to a just
and generous community, still tires and
thrives. Its arguments are unanswered,
and its position unchanged.
We have laid down the propositions:
1. That the Associated Press is a
Northern Organisation.
2. That it is a producer, mid the Press
(outside the Association) consumers.
3. That wo have a right to its prod no
tions upon the payment of its regular
and established rates.
4. That the Southern papers are not
members of the Association, but merely
customers.
5. That these customers have no right
to keep out any other customer who
desires to enjoy the benefits of the As
sociation.
6. That the President of that Asso
ciation has no right to impose penalties
or tests upon new papers.
7. And, finaiN, tlyt he has no right
to dictate to a Southern community
whether or uot any journal is needed by
them.
These are in snbstance the points
made in our former articles on this sub
ject. Some of them have been met by
mere denials, others by personal abuse,
and all of them arc unanswered.
On the firs', point, we hold that the
Associated Press is a Northern organi
sation ; that it is a Joint Stock Associa
tion, of which the proprietors of the
New York City papers are the stock
holders ; that all profits arising from the
sale of the Association’s news to other
papers are divisible only among those
stockholders; that no Southern paper
has, or ever had, a voice in the election
of officers of the Association, or in the
management of its affairs, or ever re
ceived a dollar of its profits, or paid a
cent of its losses; that, whenever they
wanted to take the dispatches, they ap
plied to the local agent, and as long as
they paid him for the dispatches, they
got them, and as soon as they failed to
pay lot them, were cut off. If these facts
do not prove it to be a Northern Asso
ciation we should like to know what
more i3 required ? But we have more
proof. We put D. H. Craig himself on
the stand. In his letter to Mr. Loomis,
the Agent at Mobile, he uses the follow
ing language : “The enclosed telegram
from our Mr. Hicks shows that he made
no agreement with the Mobile editors to
justify them.” If it is an Association
in which all the “respectable” papers of
the country have an equal share, upon
entering it, what right has the General
Agent to dictate to its members the
action they should take, or allude to one
of his subordinates as he (lines to Mr.
Ilicks? But hcjcoiitinues : “lie do not
intend to lend ourselves to any scheme
for building up new journals, etc.;” “ice
feel and know that tee huve recently im
proved and cheapened reports to the
Southern Press.” “For the present,
ice think the use or control of ocr
reports should remain with t us ;”
"by and bye, when business becomes
more settled, ice shall bo disposed
to give the local press of the
South the control of the reports,
but ice do not think that time Ims
yet arrived “ and also assure them
(the Mobile editors) that tre shall never
*sk thAn to assent to any business
arrangement except such as shall have
been unanimously approved of by the
members of ocr. ow.v Association'.”
Who is this mighty “t re” that looms up
so grandly in this letter of the Genera*
Agent? Is it not plaiu that it is the
Northern Association—that lie so con
siders it—that he lays down the rules
and regulations, and instructs his subor
dinates how to act with regard to the
Southern “members” of the Association,
so-called ? Surely, when one knows
these facts, and reads the above quota
tions, it must provoke a smile at the
grandeur which our op-town neighbor
assumes, when he, too, assumes the
mighty “ we,” and proclaims in the
awful tones of Jupiter, who
" (shakes his ambrosial curls, and gives the
nod-
The stamp of fate, ao'l sanction of a God,”
that “ now tc< shall oppose ita (Tint
Daily I’kksh) membership on any
erinn ?'
if we have made misstatements,simple
denials will not answer to refute them.
AVe ask for facts. Who is the President
of the Association ! Who are its Direct
ors 1 Where are its Constitution and
lif Laws—its rules and regulations?
Are they printed, or is the General-
Agent clothed with sole and authorita
tive power to conduct the finnucial and
general business of the concern 7 Why
are not the agents furnished with these
rules aud regulations, so ll at, when a
person applies to them, they may not
give one decision to-day and another
to morrow ? Answer these questions
mul refuto our us onions, if possible.
Our first point being correct, it na
turally follows that our second and third
points are also correct, via : that the
Northern Associated Press, furnishing
news to the papers ouUide of it at a
stipulated price, is a producer, and those
■who patronize it consumers of its
produce; aud that all who are willing
to pay for that produce are entitled to
purchase it, without the consent of or
payment of any bonus to the other cus
tomers. On the fourth, filth, and sixth
points we have already shown that the
AaetM-ialion, being a Northern concern,
those who purchase its productions or
telegraphic news are not, thereby con
atitnted member* of the Association, but
mere customers, with no legal or moral
right to exclude others from the benefits
which they receive, by the application
of tests or the requirement of boouaus ;
and that uvitherdoesthe General Agent
possess any gueh right or power. Here,
for instance, the merchants of Augusta
tnke a portion of the telegraphic news
furnished by the Association. l»o they
have to luk permission of the Chronicle
A- Sentinel, or have to pay a bonus to
the City papers ? The case is precisely
parallel to ours, and there is no more
justice in exacting such conditions
from us than there would be in exactiug
them from the merchants.
A nd, finally, on the seventh point, we
reiterate our assertion, that D. U Craig
has no authority to dictate to the South
ern peoplo what papers shall .or shall
not be' established and sustained among
them. This is what the whole question
resolves itself into at last, and all the
personal abuse of our cotemporaries
will convince us, nor the puoplo of
Augusta, that we are wrong in the posi
tions which we have assumed.
Personal abuse is always the last
resort of those with whom “the argu
raent is exhausted aud having trium
phantly vindicated ourself in this discus
sion, our city cotemporaries aro com.
pelled to adopt that resort. We really
feel no anger towards them—only pity—
pity that newspapers which once stood
so high in the popular estimation, and
had justly earned a reputation for
dignity aud courtesy, should have so
for forgotten the amenities of journal
ism and the character ol the Press, as
to sfoop to personal abuse. Surely,
when they had carried their point, in
securing the imposition of such terms
against us as we could not, in justice to
our self-respect, submi' to ; thus working
injury to our paper, they ought to have
been satisfied. But it seems that they are
not. We shall not follow their example.
We shall only say, in reply to the
charge that we shielded ourself, during
the war behind “British papers,” that,
while we are a subject of a Govern
ment which we are not required
to denounce daily in our columns,
we did volunteer our services at
Charleston and did serve in the Confed
erate Army. Can At.L of those who
assail us on this point say as much ?
It was not our country, but it was
theirs; and all we need say to them
now is, that “those who live in glass
houses should not throw stones ;” the
examination of records might show some
people in a less favorable light than
those whom they attempt to injure be
fore a Southern public.
But let that pass. We have neither
the time nor the inclination to bandy
epithets and reproaches with our neigh
bors, or to throw mud with them. That
delectable entertainment we shall leave
to them.
In conclusion wo shall only add the
following: The statement that the
Daily Press, of this City, was offered
a membership upon the same terms ns
the Chronicle, is an error. We were
never asked to take the dispatches by
the present Agent. When we applied
to Mr. Walsh for the dispatches, we
asked him if it was necessary that we
should give any notice that we required
the di.spptches after a certain date? He
replied to us: “No! when you are
ready let oie know, and I will furnish
you with them.” If there was anv other
- course to pursue he should have been
informed of it in his official capacity, so
that we could have ascertained the ex
act condition of affairs. But it appears
the conditions now imposed are some
thing new, aud got up for the benefit of
the Associated Prcts, of which the
Southern papers are “members!” and
to decide whether new papers are re
quired in the South, or not.
Several months since, Mr. Pritchard,
who was then Agent of the Associated
Press, repeatedly came to our office and
urged us to take the dispatches, giving us
evidence of a difficulty between himself
and Mr. Stockton, and offering us the
Constitutionalists dispatches free of his
commissions, if we would take them.
We declined to be a party to the trans
action, not wishing to take part in any
personal squabbles with our city cotem
poraries. This statement can be verified
by several gentlemen who were witnesses
to the statements of Mr. Pritchard, and
his offer. Our example has been thrown
away upon cur city cotemporaries ; lias
been met by opposition and persona)
abuse, and efforts to injure us before this ,
community. To that community, ns we
have already said, we are willing to
leave the decision whether the Daily
Press shall be sustained or not. They
have given us a generous support here
toforc, and we shall not eease in onr en
deavors to make the Daily Pittas worthy
of a continuance of their favor and pat
ronage, despite the want of courtesy aid
justice on the part of our cotemporurier,
or the dictatorial censorship of D. H.
Craig.
Dividing the Crop.— The Macon
Journal Menseui/er learns that the
solemn ceremonial of dividing the corn
crop, took place recently on u plantation
of upwards of a thousand acres, not a
thousand miles from Macon, upon which
the laborers were employed on shares.
The proprietor received thirty-seven and
a half bushels of nubbins and the hands
divided out the remainder of the crop
ut the rate of two and an eighth bush
els apiece. There will bo no shucking
frolic on that plantation this year. Wo
hope this is the most meagre result
which will come under notice.
fasttcM Uxskksui Rimum raoii th*
Uanxs.—England has m> parullrl in
stance* to show of promotions from Ibe
ranks of tho army to tho highest mili
tary offices, which have been so common
in France since the Revolution. La
on rriert ourerte mix talents hss there
received many striking illustrations,
which would doubtless bo matched
among ourselves were the road to pro
motion is open. Hoc lie, Humbert, aud
Picliegrti, began their respective careers
as private soldiers, Iloelie, while in the
king's army, was accustomed to cm
broidre waistcoats to enable him to earn
money wherewith to purchase books on
military science. Kleber, JLetevre,
Suehet, Tictor, Latinos, Soult, Messetta,
St. Cyr, D’Krlon, Murat, Augereau,
llessieres, ams Ney, all rose from the
ranks. In some cases promotion was
rapid, in others it was slow.
Ney enlisted at eighteen in a hussar
regiment, and gradually advanced step
by step; Kleber soon discovered his
merits, surnaming him “The Indefatiga
ble,” and promoted him to be adjutant
general when only twenty-five. On the
other hand, Sonlt was six years from
the date of his enlistment before he
reached the rank of sergeant. But
Soult’s advancement was rapid com
pared with that of Mnssena, who served
for fourteen years before he was made
sergeant; and though he altervrtml
rose successively, step by step; to the
grades of colonel, general of division,
ami marshal, he declared that the post
of sergeant was the step which of all
others had cost him the most labor to
win. Similar promotions from the
ranks, in the French army, have con
tinued down to our own day. Chan
gamier entered the king's bodyguard ns
a private iu 1815. Marshal Bugeaud
served four years in the ranks, after
which he was made an officer. Marshal
Randon, tho present French Minister of
War* began bis military career as a
drummer boy ; and in the portrait of
him in the gallery at Versailles, his
hands rests upon a drum-head, the pic
ture being thus painted at his own re
quest. Instances such as these inspire
French soldiers with enthusiasm for
their service, and each private feels that
he »cav possibly carry the baton of a
marsin'. 1 iu his knapsack. —Self llelp.
A NOTH HR LbTTER FROM G EMIR A!.
Grant.—The newspapers, of late, have
contained several leveret letters from
General Grant, on the question ol his
interest in political affairs. He avows
that he is no politician, and will have
naught to do with any party. The sen
timent is reiterated in the annexed
letter:
Headq’rs Armies of the U. S., 1
Washington, D. C., Sept. 1!). }
2’o Briyadier G neral IF. S. Hillyer,
New York City:
I see from papers, that yon hnve been
making a speech, in which you pledged
me to a political party. lam further in
receipt ot a letter from Gen. Gresham,
of Indiana, in which ho says that his
opponent for Congress had published an
extract from a letter received from you,
in which yon pledged me to the support
of President Johnson, and ns opposed
to the election of any candidate who
does not support his policy. Yon, nor
no other uu.», is authorised to speak for
me in political matters, ami 1 ask you
to desist in future. I want every man
to vote according to his own judgment,
without influence from me.
Yours, etc., IT. S. Grant.

f l he Crops in Illinois.—lt is said
that the recent Trosts in Illinois have
had a very beneficial effect upon the
corn crop, that it checked the growth of
foliage and stalk, and hastened the
ripening of the ear. It is believed that
the present corn crop will be one of the
largest and best that the West has ever
produced, provided it shall be favored
with dry, clear weather for about two
weeks.
Cotton Choppers.—An Alabama ex
change contains the annexed para
graph:
Since we have had to pay for our
labor, we have shown ourselves as inven
tive ns other people. Judge Lewis, ol
Alabama, meditating over (he very slow
progress and great vexation of colored
cotton choppers, has produced a me
chanical substitute for them. We hope
other judges will devote their talent to
the same object till we not only chop
out cotlon, but spin and weave it by
similar agencies, and so get the worth
of our money.
The Election in Pennsylvania.—
The election in Pennsylvania comes off
on Tuesday, the 9th instant. Thus far,
the battle between the Conservatives,
under the leadership of Clymer, and
the Radicals, under the lead of an ex-
Mujor-Gencral, has been lately contest
ed, and it is difficult to arrive at any
plausahle conjecture as to its result.
The signs of the times, however, seems
to indicate the partial stteeass of the
Conservatives.
Can't Endorse it. —One of the
Herald's Pittsburg correspondents
writes that since the adjournment of the
“Black and Tan” Convention, the sol
diers from all parts of the North, espe
cially those from New York, express
urent dissatisfaction with the speech of
Beust Butler. They do not endorse the.
sentiments put forth iu it. They repu
diate the Beast’s demand for the hang
ing of Gen. Lee, as well as Mr. Davis.
The correspondent says that tho majori
ty of them distinctly disclaim that such
are the sentiment! of the party to which
they intend to give their ballots.
The Hollow Horn.—At this senson
of the year, when wo may expect this
disease to make its appearance among
the horned tribe, we would remind their
owners that, by pouring a teaspoonful
of the spirits of turpentine in the cup
or cavity in the hack part of (he head
of tho cattle, they may »» ve them front
the effects of this always unpleasant and
often fatal disease.
The Augusta Daily Press, com
mencing on the 2d of October, lias
come out considerably enlarged— and
we were proceeding rapidly to awl,
also considerably improved in its edl
itoriai matter and other literary con.
tents. But wo shall not say that; we
shall merely say, that everything was
excellent enough before, and now we
are to have more of the same thing.
With this sweeping commendatory
notice of the Press, wo have half a
mind to disfigure our praise of it, by
an unimportaut exception. We would
timidly suggest that the placing of
glaring advertisements—as that “Ituliau
Opera”' one—above tho head rule of
the pnge, seems in vsry questionable
taste—no matter what bonus may be
forthcoming for tho privilege. — South
ern Herald. < '
The Savannah Daily Advertiser has
been enlarged, it being, also, printed on
new type fresh from the foundry.—
Though professedly an advertising and
commercial sheet, the proprietors hove
managed upon the muttum-in-parvo
system, generally to get a goodly quan
tity of miscellaneous news and other
interesting matter in each issue. It is
free to city residents, but to country
subscribers the small price of $4 per
year is charged—this being done to pay
for tho trouble of mailing, etc. This
and the Augusta Daily lb-ess, aro
favorites with us; we get from them so
many nice clippings—the sublimed
essences of crudof material that have
gone through their fervid and analyzing
alembics. Great success to it.—South
ern (Griffin) Herald.
To be Enlarged. —The proprietors
of that excellent paper, the Charleston
Daily News, say they intend to greatly
enlarge their paoer, and present it iu a
new dress, on the first ot November,
prox. They have also determined to
issue a semi-weekly edition of the News
—the price of which will be four dollars
per annum.
Death of a Bishop. —Rev. Dr.
Hawks, Bishop of Mississippi, died in
New York, on Thursday, the 27th of
September.

tinued this branch of our trade.
