6lk Hailij V ttss - City Friutcr —Official Paper LABfiKST (VTY QHUILATION. 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. A true copy : A ham Uadau. 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. Special Notices. RICH READING.—HON CHARLES SUMNER, of Maezachusotts ; Governor JAMES L.
