Bdilort Telrgrujih : I see a great deal in the
paper* relative to the cold, windy and wet
weather vs. good crops, etc., etc.
In this community the cotton crop is a perfect
failure. Our cotton came np as nicely as it ever
did, bnt the cold weather has destroyed abont
three-fourths of the stand. The caterpillar has
made its appearance in my cotton, eating off all
the leaves and bads, forcing the plant to death.
It would be a blessed thing if the cold weather
and the caterpillar coaid he a general thing
and cat the cotton crop abont seven-eightha
short.

One-eighth of a crop would bring the
same money that a fall one would, and we would
hare at home a plenty of bacon, flour, fine cat
tle, and everything else that makes home at
tractive, whereas, under the present system,
our year's wages are always taken np before the
close of the year, leaving ns with empty cribs
and smoke-houses, and—worse than all—with
empty pocket-books. It wonld be a fine thing
if oar next Legislature would restrict the plant
ing of cotton to three or fonr acres to the hand.
If common sense and reason, and even experi
ence, can’t awaken a civilized people to a sense

.Miscellaneous Doings in Snmtcr.
Danville, Ga., May 17,1869.
On Saturday the 8th inst., the yonng people
all assembled at D&nvillo for the purpose of en
joying the pleasure of a fishing party anda lit
tle dAnce in the afternoon; a plenty of fish
were secured, or at least eighty-five pounds,
some of which were very fine. While dinner
was Is-ing prepared some of our boys stepped
np to the grocery, drank a few toasts and played
a game sometimes called whbky poker. A lit
tle dispute arose and a splendid opportunity
presented itself for the boys to keep their spirits
np, (in case Mr. Grant should ask them to help
him whip out England), with a little belliger
ency of a private character; bat there boing
more peacemakers than fighting men the row
was stopped—all made friends—ate the dinner
and went np into the old hotel and bad a splen
did dance. Bo yon see at onee that Danville is
coining to lifo again. “Lot ns hare Peace.”
On Sunday last all met at the Methodist
Church, at Tineville, for the pnrposo of or
ganizing a Sabbath-school, and did so. We
hopo much good will be accomplished thereby.
The freedmen, also, had a fine day; their meet
ing began on Saturday night, lasted all night,
all day Sunday and Sunday night. It was
literally * protracted meeting.
In the afternoon, on Sunday, a couple of the
blacks were married by their minister from
Millodgeville. When he arrived at that part of
the ceremony—allowing objections to bo raised,
a brother of the bride stated that the groom
was living in adultery with another woman, and
contended that ho (tho groom) shonld be made
tomarry her ; whereupon tho sable minister in
formed tho crowd that no outsider had any right
to object; be wanted the crowd to understand
that no one had any right to object save the
bride and groom, so they were married.
Cora is looking well, bnt the few days of cold
haa proved disastrous to cotton—it is dying oat
rapidly, especially on sandy land.
VcTy respectfully, yours, Danville.
