Tl»e 8lone HomUlu Association. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 9. Editors Daily Sun; This Association to-day oiosed a most interesting session at Rockdale Church, two miles from Conyers. It first met on Friday, some account of which has already keen sent to yon. Rev. E. W. Warren, pastor of the First, was elected Moderator, and T. A. Gibbs, of Social Circle, Clerk. The Baptist Churches in Atlanta were represented in the Association by tho following delegates: First Church—E. W. Warren, J. M. 0. Shumate, T. H. Morgan, 0. Peeples, A. K. Seago, A. B. Sharp, and W. A. Love. Second—J. J. Toon, Dr. Hitchoock, Foster. Third—Geo. It. Moore, B. N. Fickott. Fourth—F. M. Daniel, H. 0. Hornudy. Ejfth—J. F. Edens, J. 0. Armstead. Tho introdoctory sermon was preach ed by Rev. F. M. Daniel. On Sunday Rev. Mr. Strickland preach ed a mistionary sermon in the ehnroh, from Luke 16:8. How much owest thou my Lord. Rev. H. C. Hornudy preach ed at thestand from Mark 15:17. And they cruoifled Jesus. Mr. Strickland’s discourse with his usual power, clearness and eloquence. Mr. Hornady's was one of tho ablest and grandest efforts of his life. The minis ters and the whole congregation present were held in rapt attention, and the im pression was deep ana lasting. The session was a very pleasant one very muoh enjoyed by all wbowere pres ent ; indeed, it was one of the most prem ising end encouraging ever held in the Stone Mountain Association. Over 8500 were raised for tho support of missions. The next mooting of the Association is to bo hold at Indian Creek Church on Saturday before tho soooud Sunday iu September, 1878. A very largo assemblage of tho people wero in attendance—from the churohcs in Atlanta, and indeed from nearly all tho ohurohes in the Association. The Uolil Mines of North Carolina. We are indobted to tho Charlotte About flanging Lager. The following was telegraphed from Washington on the 6th to the New York Herald: The Acting Commissioner of Internal Revenne three weeks ago issued a circu lar to gaugers, requiring them to gauge all packages nsed for the sale of ferment ed liquors. Tno order was issued in the belief that the packages used lmd a ca pacity greater than wos represented by tho stamps required for eighth, sixth, fourth, half and whole barrels, and in that way the Government was annually defrauded of oonsidcrablo revenue. In ease gangers found packages exoeeding tlioir protended capacity—three tenths of n gallon—they were instructed to brand it aa a package requiring a stamp ol the next highest denomination, pro vided the brewer declined to reduce the packBgo to a proper capacity. The reports received from guagora re verse the opinion heretofore entertained at the Internal Revenue Bureaa, and show that the Oovemmont is really prof iting bv the sale of beer in casks now usea. The reports, for iustanco, show that barrels which should contain thirty- one gallons, average only thirty; half barrels from fonrtcen to fifteen gallons. Fourth-barral*, which should contain seven end tbreu-fourtbs gallons, average only seven. The same in proportion of sixth and eighth barrels. This revelation will undoubtedly as tonish dealers in lager and cause conster nation among the brewers. The officials ore somewhat puzzled os to what course they will now pursuo. Having under taken the task for the purpose of protec ting the revenue, justice, they say, de mands that the gangers should lie re quired to brand the exact capacity of each package. The loss to the brewers in barrels snd casks alone will be very large, for while provision was made in the circular for cutting them down to tho propor measurement, the department failed to give instructions for stretching them. This was generally regretted among the officials to-day, nnd the queation will probably be turned ovor to the olera who invented theoriginal order. The Acting Commissioner of Iuternsl Revenue, who signed the original order without bus- neoting any deficiency in the quantity of lager, is more likely to sot upon the case as ho finds it, and to-morrow he will issne an order requiring gaugers to brand the exact capacity of each packago.

The order of business was suspended to reoeivo the app'iealion of tho Bell Street Baptist Onnr.'h of Atlanta, for membership with the body, which Church was unanimously received.

F. E. Fallon Coantjr Bipnnslstlru. JUUss Daily Bun; Atlanta is the CtqpiUl of the State, and should be nbly represented in the Legislature. We ought to return onr ablest and host mot —who would wield an influence in that . body who would be looked upon with high regard—whose wisdom, patriotism, talenta and reputatiou would at onco as aign to them a oommandiug position iu our State oouneels. We can send snob men to the Legisla ture if we witt. Shall we do ao f The importance of suoh a step to thia otty cannot be over-aatimated. It is vital; and I tell you, and the people of Atlanta, that a failure to oo so will be ray apt to prove fatal, I propose to apeak plainly, and ask all to bear with me while 1 do oo—aiuaring tout readers that I have no poeaible ob ject in view, but the good of our aityand the State. Take up your paper, or the Constitu tion or the Herald, and look over the list of name* announced os candidates for the Legislature. They are all merer, worthy gentlemen, who have man' trienaa urging them to this course, auL wffio will warmly support them; bat with •ail da* respect, not one of them is suoh a man aa w* ought to have. The clots of men from whom we should select our Legis lators are not seeking the office. They are ^ WWf 14 With theiroooupation* and have no expirations. They will not offer as candidate*, or bring themselves forward, or announce their name*. Tho idea of going into a scramble for office will not let m nvetneet be entertained by them. JBat they can be had to reproeont os. THE PEOPLE can call upon them for this asrrioe, and eek them as a patriotic dnty to aoeept it. If thia ia done, they wfaeUhmMelvM bound, end will, no doubt, allow the nee of their names and ■erve faithfully when elected. We wont suoh men ta John Collier, Buckle?. N . j. Hemmond, P. < ¥• !**”•**> Hoyt—auoh men of ac knowledged talent* and eminenoe, to re- pMMM us; and though none inch will eaters snramble, yet I feel hie that either of them would respond to out earnest enll upon them from The Poople of Fnltoa oounty. How such • movement moat haven Mart some where; and I venture moat re- ■pectfulij to suggest that the following geuthmeu meet ut the 0sty Hell at 111 ®hiek on Thursday morning, to con- ouier who of our citizen* will best rep- *r»t Fulton county in the next Legu- Mtote, who oan most ably and effectually mr 1 ivy communication—in the Democrat men tions throe luiucs, two ot which are worked at piescnt. Tho Wilson mine belonging to a gentleman living in Now Haven, is riel: in tho sulpimrctio brown ores eominon m the quartz formation of that conuty. The superintendent tent somo of the oree to Now York to bo tried by flro assay. Tho result of tho export ment proved tho ore to ho worth 8755 per ton. The mine has been workot down to tbn depth of fivo hundred feet by an inolined shaft, through which ull the ore nnd waste dirt from tho mine is drawn np on a railroad by means of a largo steam ongino, which affords ample powor besides for milling purposes. Bat withont stopping to toko out the ore, excopt as they out through It with their tunnels, the miners have beon pressing on exploring the mine, nntil they have established its permanenoy beyond u doubt, and it is now ono of tho host mince in tho United Statos. Tho McGinn mine is situated on the same eido of Moo- lenbnrg county with tho Wilson minn, and is very noar the celebrated Cupps mine, it boing ono of tho veins lauding from Capps mine. This mine is also iu snocosefal operation under the manage ment of an intelligent California miner, who is nsing a stamp mill with copper plates differently arranged and differ ently prepared for oatohing tho S old from anything ovor used iu lat county, and it is understood ho i« producing wonderful rosults from it iu tho way of making gold, and uo doubt will bring about a great revolution iu the mining interests of tho oouuty. tine of the most valuable of tho Muokleuburg mince is tho old Capjw mine. It is not worked at present, though there is no doubt a fortune awaiting soma energetic miner. There havo liecu as tew failures in the mines in tho Mooklenburg Cabar rus section as there have been iu Califor nia and Colorado. Tho average yield is said to be riohor than that of westtrn mines. Tho advantage of North Caro lina over California is that we can work onr mine* all the year. Honda cost less, anil provisions and wood ore nothing like so high as in California. !■ stlne ta of Turtle,. Audubon, the naturalist, stated that at certain places on the coast of Florida,, tea-turtles, those huge, stolid-looking reptiles on whioli aldermen are fed at the expense of the tax-payers, possess au ex traordinary faoultyof finding plooeo.— Working their way np out of tho reach of the tide-water with their flippers, quite a deep hole is excavatod, in which a batch of eggs are deposited and then carefully oovorod up. On reaohing the water they not unfrequently swim three hundred mile* out to so*, foraging for appropriate toed. Whan another batch of eggs are de veloped, after a lapse of about fourteen days, they will return unerringly in a di rect line, even in the darkest night, and visit the buried eggs. Removing the sand, more are deposited and secured. A writer in tho Macon lelegraph and Messenger has the following about tb e caterpillar in Bibb. Ha sends tho Te’c- grapn somo bottled specimens: I found a stalk of cotton yesterday (6tli) in a piece of bottom land literally cover ed with the wob and oaterpiliar. I sup- nose there wore 990 on tho stalk—all of uniform size, as you see. The stalk, while the dew was on it, was white—re- soinblinga bundle of cob-webs. Look again and yoa will find a chrysalis nearly ready to burst his shell and tty. I found this gentleman stored away in a cotton leaf. I was killing a few scatter ing caterpillars at the time. I found another just rolling up, having lost the feot and furze, also Ihe shape of tho worm, though retaining the color. In tent on destroying them I did not Bivo this curiosity. Agaiu you will ttud on a green loaf twonty-one eggs in double row, all nicely arranged. You will see, too, a boll worm half imbedded iu a boll at work. Boll worms have been very destructive this season on fresh and bot tom lands. I havo just out down my crop to two-thirds yield to-day. Rust nnd drouth had caused mo to doduot a tlillWIiill Away they go again, aa before. They know instinctively the day and hour when the young brood, inoabated by ao- lar rays, will break the shell, and aro promptly on the spot to liberate them from their prison. As soon as fairly oat of the hole, the mother turtle leads them down the bank to the waves, and there end her parental solicitude and maternal d sties. Gustav Dire writes that ho would like to visit the United States, but not nntil five hundred . ears from now. He is of opinion that in such a busy, rcstioss, dash-ahead life os ours nt present is, would be but little meat for gloomy minds. Caterpillar and But. A correspondent of the Telegraph and Messenger who has been making observa tions down the Booth Western Hood, writes os follows: I found everybody worried with Cater pillar, and predicting a failure in the crop. Some gentlcmeD, more hopeful, think there will be as mach cotton made this year as there was lost year. I heard several humorous stories about the cater pillar. An old man on the cars from Lee oonnty said he met a man on a mule run ning os if for dear life? He askod him what was the matter? Said he, “I’m running from the caterpillars. They have eaten my cotton aown to the ground—have eaten np my fenoe, and when I left bad commenced on the cot ton screw, and I thought it was timo to leave.” The rust is injuring the cotton that I saw on the railroad more than the worm. Indeed, I sew bat little sign of the worm, but was told that further down in low places they hod made sad havoc. Th* Coal Famine to Kaf land. The price of cool bee advanced in Eng land. What this means in apprehension of suffering m»y easily be imagined.— DuriDg. the y tar ooal has already advanc ed more than 60 per cent, in Great Brit ain, end iron and overything else has participated in the exhilarating move ment, and “gone up.” Meantime, large importations of coal from Belgium have been made, but they have no effect upon this advancing tidal wave. The feet is the coal supply ot England is deereasing at a gre&te rate, and what is of equal mo ment every day iucreases tho coBt of raising coal even from the most prolific measures. Of course there is cool enough for tho presem, but its prioe is on a steady advance, nnd with it goes up the cost of living. Wages will sympathize. The cost of products will beaffeoted, and so ‘he ball will movo on, becoming more unwieldy and of more crashing weight.— Commercial Advertiser. *■ The Price of Cottou. We learn from Edwards & Co.’s (Liver pool) last oircnlar, the following foots in relation to tho probableprice of the cot ton crop this fall. We hope cotton planters will not be disappointed in re alizing a good price: The increased machinery of the world will need fivo per cout. more, or say 3,- 700,000 bales, to food it this coming season, end it may fairly be presumed that this quantity will go into consump tion at the average price of the last two years, say Old., and, therefore, wo do not think a crop of even fonr millions will be able to reduce the average prioe below 9d. to 9id. for middling Orleans, nor do wo tnink that suoh a price can be reached till the weight of it is folt in European markets.” TELEGRAPH NEWH By the New York Associated Press. Farther Klcrtlon Returns—Republican Majority from 1*4,000 to 15,000. Pobtland, Me., 1 p. m., Sept. 10.— Oue hundred tud nmety eight towns give Perham 46,978, Kimball 85,138.

The total voto will, if it is increased in proportion, De 125,600, of whioh Per ham should have 70,465, and Kimball 55,135. The total voto last year was 108,897, of which Perham had 58,285; Kimball 47,- 478; scattering 34. Majority 10,707. In 1868, Chamberlain, Republican, had 75,525; Pillsbury, Democrat, 56,252. Republican majority 19,278—making a Republican loss of nearly 4,000 from that year. Bnt the aggregate 7ote of 1868 was tho largest ever thrown, being 131,777, or 600 more than it will probably be this year, and this reduction of the aggregate would decro.iso the majority about 1,000 so that the net loss will fairly bo 3,000 from 1868.

Thnt year wo lmd wnrm and wet woathcr from tho 14th of August to 11th of September. Perhaps it was very fuvurulde fur the development ef the optton enemy. These enemies—rust, boll worm nnd caterpillar, will cut the crop off to an nlurmiog extent. It will conio iu rapidlv too during September, and tho greatest enemy of all to tho poor cotton and tho producer “tho bears” will cap the climax by betting high on the orop nnd low on prices. But producers are not compelled to sell unless they ewe money; and a great part of t iat may not he due until a killing frost puts a quietus on cottou patches aud caterpillars. TI.0 Ai.i.rl. Mn ( nllon Crop. From both the F.i glish and American tablets of cotton statistics it appears that tho Amerjeau cotton crop is rapidly at taining its former position iu the com merce of tho world. Our exports to England wore ouly abuut 689,000 owt. loss than in 1800. Dining 1870and 1871 tho imports of Americau cotton in Great Britain wero 15,008,955 owt., and from British Iudia 6,898,905 owt, showing au excess fro-u the United States during tho last two years of 8,770,049 cwk The most imjiortaut point established ky these returns is that the staple industry of the South has revived, and is likely to pros per more under free labor thau under the former system of slavery. The problem now to be solved in the South is uot ■hat of produciug cotton olicap witii la bor free, but of improving the methods of agriculture aud chciipeuing the cost of iiandliug and of transportation. The demand 1ms uot yet been fully met, and the time will probably como within a few years wliou the South will find n ready and profitable market for fivo or six mil lions of bales ; lienee the neoeseity of a demand on the port of the Southern planters for a reduotion of transporta tion. Land is cheap and abundant; and if the coat of labor and carriage could be reduced, tho South would soon recov er her former supremacy ia tho cotton markets ot tho world. It is estimated that Texas alone oonUins Und capable of producing 15,000,060 bales of cotton annually, and that is considerably more than is oousumed at present by the whole oivilized world. Th* Con.ampuvit or Tlmb«r. The United State* Commissioner of Agriculture says: “If for twenty years to oome the demand for lumber shall ad- vanoe in the snmo ratio to the population os in tho past twenty, more than $200,- 000,000 worth of American sawed lumber will be needed eaeh year, denuding more than ten million acres of Und.” About 7,000 acres ore cleared of limber each weak-day in this oountry. Of the an nual orop 875,000,000 worth goes to fuel and twice as maoh to fencing. Tho lo comotives iu this country consume uo lees than 7,000,000 oords a year, or 500 acres a day. Tnu U a startling revelation, bat there U do doabt that it ia substantially true, end the day U not far distant when every sore of timber Und will be immensely valuable. Think of Southern pine Unda being offered at 81 to 36 per acre. Tne quotations iu this city for Southern pine, per cargo, ore as follows, vU;—Pens*, ola floonug 32 to 84; Jacksonville do. 29 to 32; Carolina do. 22 to 35. Dressed do., from yard 40 to 50.

The decretal order (issued by Judge Sessions, lost week in tins city, for the sale of the Brunswick and Albany Rail road, provided for und appointed three Commissioners to conduot the sale. As strange e.s it may sound to the outside world, the gentlemen named, all leading counsel in tho cs-o, were appointed by the counsel t emselves, instead of leav ing the appoiumont to the Chancellor, as U usual in snch cases. Without com menting upon thia unusual proceeding, we announce thnt tho threo Commission ers are Judgo O. A. Lochrauo, Colonel Arthur Hood, aud R. K. Hines, Eeq. — Brunsieich Appeal. Isillili Settlers in Vlrslnla. The ScottsviIIa (Vft.) Register says:— “There seems to lie a prospect of Vir ginia being settled agaiu by tho holiest and intelligent people of England. Mr. lit nger, together with four other Eng lishmen, have purchased the magnificent farm of Mrs. Bcott, known as Scotland, containing 1,700 acres—price 835,000.— Harford, also an Englishman, has bought au adjoining farm of Mr. Norbcruo Mor rison. Two other Englishmen and a Scutch capitalist have purchased two of tho largest^farms in Albcmalo county, for which thoy jiaid $50,000. Altogether, aqout $100,000 invested iu tho vicinity of Seottsvillo.” An intoxicatod Englishman beat bis wife recently iu Chicago, aud in default of $50 to jjny his fine was sent to jail for 100 days. The wife’s heart finally soft ened toward him, and going to Mayor Medill she tearfully begged her husband’s release. Tbo Mayor is especially rigor ous with wifo-bcaters, and refused to baton to any proposition tending toward leuioney, but moved with compassion gave tho woman 825 to relievo her neces sities until tho expiration of her husband's term. Thia she gratefully took, aud go ing straight to the jail paid tho remaining portion of his duo to tho chagrin of the just hut genorous Mayor. Value or Railroad*. A writer of considerable repute has calculated that, upon the average, every 600 miles of railroad adds 8120,000,000 yearly to tho national wealth, which is enough to pay tho interest of the na tional debt. It we call the addition, however, but half of this writer’s esti mate, or 860,000,000 per annum, it would give a sufiloient idea of this ooustant sourco of national wealth for all procti cul purposes. Oar railroads, iu foot, con stitute the surest index of our material progress. Reduction of Public Debt. In oomplianoe with a verbal request from Senator Robertson, of North Oaro* linn, Judge Richardson, Acting-Secretary of the Treasury, transmitted to him the following official calculation relative to the reduction of the public debt: Ths total redaction from March 1, is6t. to September. 1872, la. 9*48,141,93# 46 Redaction per year............. 99,406,926 06 Bed action per month 8,249.377 11 Reduction per day #71.986 34 Reduction per hour 11,832 72 Reduction per minute 188 86 Reduction per second a IS Th.

It ia estimated that the rood will ooat 84,000 per mile, aud the dis tance being 33 miles, the entire road will oost 8132.000. NORTH CAROLINA. A. Shortened Cotton Crop* Goedsboro, N. O., Sept. 10.—The Carolina Messenger of to-morrow has the following item: From the reports we have reoeived from planters, for several days post, and from personal observa tion, wo are forced to the conclusion that the cotton crop, in this 6octiou, lias sustained a serious injury in tho couu- ties of Wayne, Dnplin, Johnston, Edge- come, Lenoir, Wilson, Greene, Pitt and Sampson. The drouth and rust have damaged the prospects very much and the ravages of the worms, in many parts, will Btill farther reduce the crop. We have before us reliable estimates of damages in various portions of the ootton-growing counties, aud, as far aa we are capable of judging, consider the prospects at least twenty-five per cent, worse than was generally anticipated a month or two ago. UTAH. Tb« Trouble wltli tho Xuvugca. Salt Laki:, Sept. 10.—Gen. Morrow returued from the South late Inst night. The troops remain at the sccno of tho Indian troubles. In a oounoil with the hostile Indian Chiefs in SanPete, the Indians positive taojftKd 'thRwnmm'tsfy were starving. They thought they might as well be killed by the soldiers. The agents they send wero liars and thieves. Oen. Morrow notified them that they must return, promising to givo them food on tho way and full supplies at the reservation. Tno Chiefs finally consented, but said thoy would return to the valley if not fed. Gou. Morrow reports a reign of terror in San Peto county.

NEW YORK. Particular* of tho Ailillrutlon. New York, September 10.—Tho Her ald’s Geneva special says the statement that only three millions of pouude have been awarded tho United {States, bus been ollici' lly declared to bo incorrect. The arbitrators met yesterduy to con sider the final form of a verdict. Both the English and Ameiican agents were excluded from the meeting. The verdict is definitely against England for a want of diiigenco and good faith; but this will be expressed in mild terms. Tlie arbitrators are not all ot the same opinion on the several points, and will deliver papers expressive of their indi vidual views. Some of these papers are voluminous and full of tho details. The proceedings of the Court will uot bo made publio for somo time yet, in difiereuce to tho wishes of tlie British Government.
