For some time post there has been much excitement in Chattanooga aud along the line of the Alabama and Chat tanooga Railroad, growing ont of an ef fort by certain parties to force this Com pany, which, under the management of Mr. Stanton, of Chattanooga, has proveu insolvent and nnable to pay the wages of its employees and its negotiable paper now overdue, into bankruptcy. The Sun has endeavored to keep the public posted in regard to this great muddle involving millions in money val ues, and the just dues and comfort of thousands of laboring men who have toiled aud worked for the road. From reports found in the newspapers, and gathered from parties, who have ar rived here from the head oenter of the excitement, Chattanooga, we have glean ed and published much that it is believed inter<5sted the general publio, who are, like ourselves, curious to arrive at the truth in regard to this great imbroglio. That the whole truth has not come out, is patent to even the commonest under standing. That the Sun has not been able to fully ventillate it, is due no doubt to what appeal’s to be the studied reticence of the contending parties now trying to manipulate the majority of the creditors of the road in their interest. Whatever has heretofore been pub lished in our columns, has found its wny there in the interest of neither party, and publishing what follows as nows, is to be distinctly understood, that we do so, leav ing the reader to form his own judgment as to its merits. The following is gathered from one of the Alabama creditors of the Company referred to, who says he has large sums due him from the insolvent road, and heartily approves the movement of Mr. W. A. C. J ones, of Alabama, to force the Company into bankruptcy. Our in formant denies the accuracy of many of their items in the account of the cost of the construction of the road as shown tty Mr. Stanton in his report made to tin convention of the creditors at Chatta- uoogii, on the 14th inst., and which w» have published. The movement made to throw the Company into bankruptcy way instigated by a loss of confidence in Mr. Stanton’s integrity of purpose by lie great majority of the creditors in Alabama and Mississippi; that much that has occurred at Chattanooga bfn been due to the manipulationi of Mi. Stanton and his friends, to secure tin vote of a majority of the creditors of tin Company for bis appointment as roceiv- r of the road. The party approving Jones’ movement are willing to stay pro ceedings in bankruptcy, provided, that they have satisfactory guarantees that they will secure the ultimate payment ot their claims. In regard to the stealing of a train on the 15th inst., by a party from Alabama, our informant says: The train which brought the United States Marshal, and a large number of the creditors of the Road, including em ployees, contractors, bondholders, etc., to Chattanooga on the 13th, was borrow ed from the legal custodians of it, it hav- i ig been previously attached at Meridian Ly some creditors of the load, and turn- ♦•d over by the U. S. Marshal to the cus todians. Upon its arrival at Chattanooga, it was taken possession of by the employees, who, our informant believes, were acting in the interests of Mr. Stanton, and as previous kr qutot And PAleut I will uh every eff.w Robebt B.

SPLENDID SPORT—RED DICK WINS—A SCRUB RACE—AND A FIGHT TO CLOSE UP WITH. trotting m The Races at e’iurview Purk, CrilHu, advertised lor last Saturday, came off in good style.

The race was won ei by Red Dick in three straight heats — 3:45, 3:31 and 3:04. THE SCRUB RACK. After the trotting match, a scrub race was between Mr. Hightower’s saddle horse and Mr. Doyle’s pony, 600 yards, for $10. The side betting was pretty rapid, and the excitement ran high, a^ both the horses were considered verj “shifty” by their respective friends.

The money, However, was restored to the hands of the stake-holder, and a few words passed, hen Mr. Pound drew a pistol and POPPED A CAP at Mr. Manley. It was fortunate the pis tol did not tire, as the position of the parties was such as would have insured Mr. Pounds his game. Mr Pounds tired three limes, if we are correctly informed, at Mr. Mauley, who wae unarmed, and so stated; hut after doing so, told his antag- in^not very polite language, to shoot rxe took him at his worn, and “shooted.” One shot passed through Mr. Manley’s coat, grazing his hip.— About this time LT.

Washington, June 1.5.—The De partment of Agriculture has received returns from nearly three hundred comities representing the most pro ductive districts of each of the cotton States, and allowing the comparative average and the condition of the crop during the first week of June. A dimunition in the area planted in cotton appears in every State except Florida. The most careful analysis of the returns, with due regard in making averages, to the extent of cot ton production in the respective counties, gives the following percent* age of reduction compared with last year: Virginia, 30 per cent; North Carolina, 13; Hotitn Carolina, 13; Georgia, 1*^; Alabama, 13; Missis sippi, 15; Louisiana, 8; Texas, 14; Arkansas, lti; Tennessee, 12. These State averages, reduced to a general average—the assumed aver age of the resjiective States lieiiig an element in the calculation—will place j reduction of the cotton of 1871, as compared with that of 1870, between fourteen and fifteen percent, equiva lent to nearly a million and a third of acres. This would leave between seven and a half and eight millions >f acres as the present area in cotton. Hie average yield has not, in former years, exceeded one hundred and fifty pounds per acre. That for 1870 was more than two hundred pounds. The condition of the growing plant is below an average in nearly every State. The spring has been unusu ally wet and cold, retarding the growth, causing many of the plants to turn yellow and die, and obstruct ing cultivation to a large extent.— Replanting, however, has refilled the vacant spaces of imperfect stands. The weather has recently been more favorable, and it is not impossi ble that an average condition may be attained by the commencement of the picking season, The condition of cotton in Julv of 186U, a vear favor ed with an abundant yield, was only a little better than tlie showing for I June of the present year. While the prospect is slightly improving, there is nothing in it of a decisive charac ter. The percent ge lielow an aver age condition is respectively as fol lows in the respective States: North Craolina, 10 per cent. South Caroli na, 8; Georgia, 10; Alabama, 17; Mississippi, 16; Louisiana, 10; Tex as, 7; Arkansas, 17 ; Tennessee, 10. In Florida the condition is 3 percent above an average. An official estimate of the ultimate result, so early in the season, would j bean absurdity. The iufiucnoe ofi future raius, floods, frosts and insect j enemies con not he calculated in ad- \ vanoe; hut in view of the extremely favorable circumstances alb ctnig the crop last year, these cannot be ex pected in the preseut year, upon a reduced area, a crop excelling three .and one-half millions of bales. An early frost, or the prevalence of in- •eots. or a very tin propitious season, might reduce the yield to three mil lions ; and a still further reduction is possible in the union or seM'rity of overal of these causes of failure. Post Routes In .North Georgia Recently Col. Price addressed a let ter to the Post Office Department, making ‘several suggestions in rela tion to mail service in this section of the State. The Post Office De partment, replied that as soon as mail service shall have been ordered on the new railroad between Atlanta and Gainesville, the propriety of altering the routes will be considered by the Department. Among the suggestions made by Col. Price were toe estab lishment of a hack line between Dah- lonega and Gainesville; the re-estab lishment of a weekly mail from Cleveland, White county, to Hays- ville, North Carolina; a weekly mail from Clayton, Rabun county, to lllairsville, Ga., and one from Klijay fo Duck Town, Tumi.; also, the re establishment of Sundry post offices aud post masters, heretofore discon tinued by the Government. We are glad to note the fact that Col. Price is working for his District, and it won't b- iong before mail fa cilities will be felt throughout sec tions of country that have heretofore been sadly ueglected.

Peace to liis manes !—Courier 14/A. j*? CoroucFs Inquest. At a very early hour yesterday morn ing, B. F. Sheftall was called to hold on an inquest over the body of Har riet Doyle, a negro girl, who died quite suddenly at her residence in the south western portion of the city. The circum stances, as we learned, are that the gi 1 was sitting in a room vith several otner members of her family, and very sudden ly commenced coughing, which she con tinued for some time, soon after she be gan to spit blood, then to vomiting blood, and going into the bedroom sat down up on the bed, when she died quite sudden ly. The jury rendered as their verdict, death from hemi-rrage.—[Sav. News. Cuttins Affair. A catting affair, which came near re sulting seriously, occurred hist night at the Screven House. Some difficulty be tween a bar-keeper and a waiter in the hotel caused the former to make an effort to strike the waiter, who had gone to the bar, it seems, prepared, uud who met the bar-keeper with a razor, which he used on him quite freely, cutting him in sev eral places on the neck. They were soon separated, aud a physician sent for, who dressed the wounds, stating that the bar keeper had made a very narrow escape. When we saw lnm at 1 o’clock he was doing well.—Savannah News. Life Incident. I once knew a lawyer great in his pro fession and great as a man. He wonld pause on his way to the court- hoose where life aud death, through God’s per mission, hung upon his words, to speak a word of comfort or counsel and give a eded dollar to an indigent beggar by the way-side; lie would turn from a crowded court-house, where hearts had laughed and went at hi* bidding, and wend his steps horn neward to romp and play with his children. Such a man I knew once. It was worth all of life to have known him. This man died ere the full meridian of life shone upon his hon ored head, and I continued to know his widow. In the course of years she mar ried again and raided up children by this marriage. It seemed to be quite a point with her to assure them tlmt she loved their father full us w^ll as the first hus band. I thought T detected that this was as much to persuade herself us them, and felt curious >o know the truth ; so upon one occasion after sh*j was doue ut tering these assurances, I turned quickly to her and said: “Suppose an argel /ere to appear now before you, and s Will yon have your first husband back?' what would be your answer?” In an instant the t* :»rs gushed from her eyes, her voice tr* ud»h d, and, with arms outstretched to Heaven, she ex claimed: “I would sav, oh, give him to me ! give him to me!” The next instant her hands fell beside her, h* r head dropped back, and, pale as death, she murmured, “It was cruel, Susan!” This was after she had been married tweuty-throe years to the secoud hus band, aud gray hail’s ciowned her brow with their pure glory ; anti I gave it to show how long such a man as I have des cribed lives iu the hearts of those, left behind, io unabate l love aud honor.— Oh, that earth possessed more such!
