It is* stated that six fatal cases of cholera oc
curred the past week in this city, brought here
by vessels from Cuba.
The survey for East River bridge has been
completed, and ike materials are being prepared
for the abntments on the river shore.'
Indictments have been found by tho grand
jury against prominent brokers and bankers for
violation of the usury laws. The arrest was or
dered on Thursday.
• District Attorney Fierpoint has been authori
zed by the President to call on all military and
naval forces here to prevent the departure
of a Cuban expedition said to be about ready to
leave New York. He has taken measures with
the naval officials and the military in forts to
obey his instructions.
The Ears Railway Disasieb.—The Night Ex
press train from New York, on Thursday night,
ran into a freight train, which had been left
partially on the track instead of a side track,
about thirty ’ miles from Corns Bock. Tho en
gine, tender, baggage car, express car, smoking
car, one passenger car and a sleeping car wore
thrown off the track and smashed out of all
shape. Tho splinters from the cars and frag
ments of timber came into contact with fire
from, tho locomotive, and a conflagration en
sued, in which timbers, baggage and wounded
passengers all went to feed the flames. Soven
cam were destroyed and six passengers burned
to death. Two of the passengers wore from
New York, one supposed to be Rev. Benjamin
Halleck. Another dispatch says the through
mail was burned in tho post-office car.
The Pmcz or the Chinese.—A dispatch to
the Courier-Journal says that Koopmanschap,
tho great Chinese labor contractor, states that
Coolie labor will cost tho cotton producers ono
hundred dollars in advance, to pay the cost of
transportation, to be deducted from wages in
case of failure to adhero to contracts, and $12
in gold per month. The convention will take
action upon tho question to-morrow. An im
pression prevails among tho delegates that the
price indicated will debar action by tho Con
vention as a body.
Important Sutoeme Court Decision.—In the
case of Nathan Chapman against Warren Akin,
from Bartcw county, says the Atlanta Constitu
tion, of Thursday, the momentous principle is
established that the 3525th section of the Code,
which prescibes four years as the time in which
executions can be levied on transferred real
estate applies to the time covered by the war,
and that said section does not fall under the
statutes of limitation.
The effect of it is to relieve hundreds of thou
sands of acres of land from danger of sale at the
Sheriff's hands—to kill hundreds of executions
that but for this, wonld be collectible, and to
strike another heavy blow in the direction. of
if relief.
The -remarkably quick (lees than thirteen
days) passage out of the yacht Dauntless, as an
nounced by the cable, is considered another
feather in tho cap of her owner, Sir. James
Gordon Bennett, Jr. Mayor Hall, when he heard
the nows, ordered Marshall Tooker to fire one
hundred guns in front of the New York City Hall
in honor of the event, and the order was promp
tly obeyed.
The important office of editor of the New
York Times has been offered to the Hon. John
Bigelow, and beholds the offer under consider
ation. Tho attractions are said to consist of a
salary of $10,000 a year, with a largo interest
in the proprietorship of the papor on very fav
orable terms. As Mr. Bigelow had just com
pleted his arrangements for a protracted resi
dence in Europe, he naturally hesitates to change
his plans.
The Cuban expedition (one hundred and
twenty men) that quietly slipped away from New
York, on the 23d of last mouth, sr quietly re
turned to New York on Saturday evening last,
in the brig A. Eldred. The men made a land
ing, and had a slight brush with the Spaniards,
but cholera and yellow fever wero prevailing
so badly in tho insurgent camp that all hands
concluded to return home while it was yet in
their power to do so.
Seditious.—The Pensacola Commercial, of
the 2d, says: “We learn from a source entire
ly reliable that negroes and mulattocs residing in
the npper part of the county have organized in
to military companies, and are drilling in the
night time with muskets, sabres and military
music.” . *
A Third Party.—It is said that a new oppo
sition Republican party is forming unefer the
leadership of Seward, Chase. Charles Francis
Adams, Senator Morgan, cf New York, Thuriow
Weed and Chas. A. Dana.
Well, let the third party form; but let the
Democracy be all the more united.
The Crops in Florida. — The Tallahassee
Floridian of Tuesday says: “There will be a
large yield of com in this county, cotton is very
promising, and'if we escape the caterpillar the
the farmers will make money, which will im
part activity to the different branches of busi
ness in our city, and in the fall everything will
be prosperous."
A man in Adair connty, Iowa, has invented a
cannon which he claims will throw a projectile
fourteen miles, and has gone to Washington to
get a patent. He proposes to offer it to the
.* Government for $1,000,000.
TTig next achievement should be to invent a
glass by which objects can be seen at that dis
tance.
Four young men from Ha Yard have gone out
to England to row a “four oared match” against
the students of Oxford. The New York Sun ex
presses the belief that there will be fonl play, to
prevent the young Americans from winning.
Of course if they get beat it will be attributed
to fonl play.
The Detroit Post thinks that our naval ves
sels, if we would have them inspire terror, should
receive such names as Cholera and Yellow Fe
ver, Nitro-Glycerine, Susan B. Anthony, Anna
Dickinson, etc.
General Kirby Smith seems to be popular as
an instructor of youth. In one State alone, says
the Louisville Courier-Journal, sixteen hundzpd
ladies have promised him their sons as pupils
for his military academy.
A sn.TEBsjoTH in Smith field, England, recen
tly poisoned his wife and six children to death,
ending the proceeding by killing himself, be
cause he could get no work.
A colored woman named Polly Garland was
so badly burned by the explosion of a kerosene

Crops In Oeergia,
There seems to be no material difference in
the crop situation since our last. Drought still
afflicts some portions of the State—more par
ticularly in the Northern section. Southern,
Southeastern and Southwestern Georgia seem
generally to to have had abundance of rain. In
Middle Georgia, showers have been frequent,
but they have been partial, and many localities
are distressed for want of rain. In Macon, the
past week was signalized by two general show
ers ; and on an average perhaps there has been
as much rain as is usual at this season of the
year. Certainly much more than last year.
Where those showers have fallen the corn crop
is pretty well secured, and will be highly satis
factory. Elsewhere, itis, of course, in a very
critical or almost hopeless condition.
Cotton is still highly promising; notes of
danger come to us from the West and the North
in the cry of boll worm, and from Florida in the
alleged discovery of caterpillaisin force. Time
must develop what just cause of apprehension
exists from these discoveries; but as no cotton
crop was ever yet grown without some com
plaint and alarm of worms and caterpillar, we
are slow to give place to apprehension of eviL
We believe the cotton crop of Georgia never
looked better or promised a greater yield to the
extent of its area than it does now. No ap
pearance of disease of any kind is manifest,
and. although here and there the growth of the
plant may be somewhat retarded by dry weath
er ; yet the skies have not the brassy look of a
season of general drought, and we hope, by
turns, the whole of Georgia will get nun enough
to develop the crop to a full fruition of its
present promise. The health of the State con
tinues good. Absolutely no complaints of the
field laborers are audible. Order, peace and
sober and diligent indastiy are the conditions
every where.
TlieTurner Investigation.
Yesterday, it will be seen, was confined to an
effort to destroy the credibility of Swayze ; and
some twenty witnesses, principally negroes,
swore they wonld not believe their doughty
champion on oath. That is awful ingratitude
that when a man makes himself a nigger in the
championship of the race, the blacks disown
him in this way. We dare say Swayze could
have retained tho compliment, as to these sooty
witnesses, with right good will. It is a nice
business all round.
The Atlanta Constitution
Restates its position in respect to the expelled
members thus;
The article referred to by the Teleoeaph, was
the one in which we gave tho arguments on
the other side of the question from that we
held, and believed right We gave these views
as a matter of information, and not in any way en
dorsing or making them the ground of changing^
position previously taken and still adhered to, and
we little thought our liberality wonld expose ns
to misconstruction. We have never argued the
subject, except from a legal standpoint The
policy of the matter wo have intentionally ig
nored, because wo did not think the timo had
como to argue it We wero against making a
gratuitous and unnecessary sacrifice of a prin
ciple, while there is a chance to preserve it,
and we hoped, by making a manly and judicious
stand for a legal right, that we might retain it,
particularly when our extreme Radical oppress
ors oontended for its truth; when we conceded
them the substantial establishment of negro of
fice holding, and when, if it could be done, it
would bo so much to the good of the State.
Now, there has been this difference between
the Telegraph and the Constitution on this
theme, that tho former has discussed the ptdiey,
tho latter the legality only, of re-seating the
expelled members.
We havo beliovod that we were right, and
contended for it courteously and impartially,
bnt wo still held our columns open to both
sides, that our readers might have all tho light,
and jndgo for themselves. We have reserved
onr opinion on the policy of the matter till the
thing becomes practical, and that will be when
tho Legislature meets.
* * * In tho months between this and the
meeting of the General Assembly, is there not
time, and will there not be opportunity, to
.convince these people that we are acting from
conviction and not prejndico ? If wo do this, is
there not hope that they will forego on onr part
a concession, illegal, as they own, and which is
to tho injury of tho State, particularly when the
principle is admitted and obeyed ? It is worth
on effort.
Even the Republican has modified its tone.
In its first article, it avers that Georgia's posi
tion “cannot secure national restoration” with
out reseating the expelled negroes; in its sec
ond, it merely says, “it is likely Georgia will be
called on to reverse her action.”
A great change is going on North about the
Sonin. By avoiding acrimony, by acting with
reason and discretion, we can do much. There
is an improving tido in onr favor, and it may
bear us to better days without farther oppres
sion.
These legal principles that onr contemporary
so contemptnoely pronounces qnidities and po
litical figments are the constitutional safeguards
of important rights, and every one torn away
from our system of laws is an injury to our lib
erties. Wo are for giving up no more of them
than is absolutely necessary.
We did, and do now, advise onr legislators to
withhold the expression of their opinions, thus
far as a matter of policy, and this without retra
cing a step we have taken. Foot months’ care
ful study, will enable them to decide better than
now, with tho issue hastily sprung.
This is the precise idea of the Constitution’s
position wo sought to convey, but might have
been unfortunate in tho effort Our friend of
the Constitution has been still more unlucky in
respect to the Teleorapii, if he has failed to see
that we have considered the matter in every
possible aspect both of principle and policy.
Onr friend complains that there is a vein of
dogmatism and one-sided, agressrve positivism
in tho Telegraph upon this subject, which
might be dispensed with to advantage; but
really wo are not conscious of any prido of opin
ion on this subject With our good will, no ne
gro should ever hold office in Georgia, and we
don’t think it a question likely to practically vex
the people to any great extent in the future.—
The point is to get safely over existing difficul
ties with Congress, and if the Constitution can
work that out upon res adjudicate, or upon any
of the other schemes to prevent the practical
application of the doctrines of the Supreme
Court, we shall consider ourselves happy and- -
fortunate.
From Jones County.
Cornucopia, Ga., July 16, 1SC9.
Editors Telegraph : I have been a reader of
your esteemed paper for several years, and it
seems that the prospect for a bounteous crop,
as reported in the columns of your paper, was
never more cheering. But surely you have not
heard from this section. We have not had any
rain here in nearly four weeks. Our com is
dried up to where the ear ought to be. All -tho
.rain that can possibly fall can’t make more than
a fourth of a com crop. Cotton has not grown
any in fifteen days. On the 5th inst., I counted
150 forms on one stalk of cotton in a small pateh
belonging to Dr. S. M. Anderson; and this
morning we counted them over with the follow
ing result: 40 bolls, 11 blooms and 81 squares,
showing a loss of 18 forms, and I think there is
a like diminution in all the forms in this com
munity. This patch of cotton of Dr.- Anderson
which is about a quarter of an acre, (Peeler
seed,) was the best formed of any I ever saw up
to the commencement of the dry spell.
Yours most respectfully,
Wm. Alexander.'
orney boasts that two-thirds of the 2o00 news-
era of the United States are Republican in
tics. Republicans are the reading portion
inr population, and it is they who give life
vigor to all the educational and intellectual
ertakiugs of the day.
t be true the Radicals must be of the
b described by John Randolph, whose natur-
tnpidity bad been aggravated by much study,
ding and reflection.
CoerIj Agricultural Societies.
Macon, July 17, 1869.
The Secretary of the Agricultural Society re
quests the city papers to republish the follow
ing form of a Constitution for County Agricultu
ral Societies as he often receives requests for
copies. He suggests further that the formation
of county societies and the representation by
delegates of these societies in the great Conven
tion which will be held during the fair will be a
matter of some importance to these societies
and delegates, in the way of extra privileges and
advantages afforded them as such. Some forty
societies, with the names of officers and members,
are already received and enrolled. Papers of-
the State please copy.
David W. Lewis, Secretary.

From the Athens Southern Bonner of Friday
morning we clip the subjoined :
Calobical. —The weather for the last two
weeks has been growing hot,until it has reached
about the m«T?mnm known to the summer sol
stice in this latitude. The thermometer has
ranged day after day from 90 to 96 degrees,
and the nights—usually comfortable hero—have
-been oppressive. There has been little rain
for a mouth and crops generally are suffering.
Gardens about town are ruined.
The Sun’s Eclipse.—The Bonner furnishes
the following information in relation to the sun s
eclipse on the 7th of August next:
Tho following calculations of tho beginning
and end of this eclipse for the several places
named wero made by a member of the senior
class of the University, Mr. W. S. Bean, of Au-
gnsta. They were calculated on the principle
of projections, and arc accurate, in so far as
the latitude and longitude of the places named
could bo determined. The calculations are
made for tho local time of each place.

4m. Throughout Georgia the oclipso will be
partial. Much more of the sun will be obscured
to observers in the Northern part of the State,
than to those in the Southern part.
The Banner says Rev. P. P. Lamar has re
signed the Sub-Collectorahip of Internal Reve
nue in that district, and it is rumored that Mr.
A. F. Nunnally, of Walton, will succeed him.
From Thomas Connty.
The Thomnsville Southern Enterprise of
Wednesday has the following:
Catebpillabs. —Farmers along tho Florida
lino, and especially on the Micosukio lake, in
JefferRon county, Florida, report caterpillars in
their cotton fields, but doing little mischief.
They have crossed into Georgia in some places,
and we are informed that they are quite numer
ous on the farm of Sir. Robert Roddenbeny,
near tho Florida line in this county. We think
the weather is too dry and worm for them, how
ever, and unless^ cloudy, rainy days como to
their relief soon, there will be no cause for
alarm.
Progress op the Railroad.—The track lay
ing on the South Georgia and Florida Road will
reach the Ocklockoneo bridge to-day. Now is
the time for a big pic-nic. Maj. Maxwell will
furnish a train, and we hope all our people will
prepare their baskets and give the South Geor
gia and Florida Railroad Company nnd its able
engineering corps a pic-nic that will be worth
remembering. Let the day be appointed at
least a week beforehand.
Horr Weather.—This immediate locality is
dry and the weather unusually warm. We are
afraid to look at the thermometer, but every
man you meet declares it the “hottest weather
he ever saw.” Some of'us need rain, and no
doubt the needy will get it before Saturday
night.
Isabella Grapes.—Mr. Edward K. Vann, re
siding near Boston in this county, brought to
our sanctum on Monday a splendid sample of
Isabella grapes, from a vine which one of his
neighbors assured as has borne not less than
five bushels this season.
Mr. Vann says tho vine is only two or three
years old, has never been pruned, but trained
upon green oaks instead of arbors. Ho thinks
the vines must be protected from tho sun in or
der to yield fruit, and hence his idea of training
them among tho foliage of green trees.
The Enterprise chronicles a beet weighing
eight pounds and five ounces, and says it can't
be beaten; bnt we have already received and no
ticed a beet which beats his beet by three ounces
—for ours weighed eight pounds and a half,
down weight. If the Enterprise crows over us
on cabbage, we mean to square accounts on
beets.
The Enterprise notices the deaths of Mr.
Geo. W. Mitchell of that connty, and Mr. John
H. Lowry, late of Thomas, who died in Manatee
county, Florida.
Correcting his statement about Mr. Wright’s
cotton field, the Enterprise says :
As for the cotton statement we will make it
larger than what it was, and we believe this day
it will average one hundred and fifty squares,
blooms and bolls to the stalk. We ask onr up-
country friends to quit talking about forty and
sixty to the stalk.
From Xewton County.
The Covington Examiner of Thursday, has
the following:
An Excellent Yield.—Onr old friend, Msj.
Lewis Zachry, raised this year, from one bushel
and three pecks of seed wheat, fifty bushels k>f
excellent wheat. The crop was drilled fifteen
inches between the rows, and worked with a
hoe. The wheat raised will average between
62 and 64 lbs. to the bushel. Who can beat
that? '
The weather, for the past few days, has been
the hotest of the season. We were visited by a
slight shower of rain, Monday evening la3t, the
first rain sufficient to lay the dust, in about five
weeks. Gardens in this vicinity are pretty well
dried np.
The Covington Georgia Enterprise of Friday
morning says:
Rain has fallen in some portions of the coun
ty in quantities to suit farmers, while in others
it,is still in great demand. Com that is in an
advanced state of maturity has been already se
riously damaged yet a series of showers would
make great changes in the prospect. Cotton
has not suffered so much, yet the plant would
doubtless feel refreshed with a shower. Upon
the whole we hear much that pleases, and some
little that is Bad and discouraging.

15 years have elapsed since the discoverer (who speit

WORTHY Or ATTENTION.
To Z)r. Thos. A. Hurley.
[ hereby certify that durins last year I was attack
ed with the Ague whilst in Vickeburcr, Miss., and uieil

On reaching homo the disease returned in a worse type,
if possible, when my medical attendant ordered Qui
nine in largo doses— frequently as hlch os sixty

lie prescribed quinine nnd arsenic ...
refused to take, preferrinzto let the disease take its
course. I wasnlmost bioodness, extremely ozbausted,
and pronounced with largo Ijver and Spleen. About
this time the ad vertue nu-nt jf Hurley's .
appeared in a city paper, and i determined t ...
atrial. 1 did so, and have no reason
One bottle res tored me completely, and since that time
I have seen nearly a hundred eases in which it seted
with equally happy resuita, and would certainly
recommend It aa preferable to any other tonic before
tho public.
