Tlie Radicals on Georgia.
The letter of the Boston apostle of the negro-
phily Steams, who claims to have been driven
out of Georgia—the dispatches and editorials
declaring that the United States revenue officers
cannot safely hold and exercise their offices in
the third district, and various other indications
go to show that the next Congress will open with
a heavy onslaught upon Georgia. The New
York Tribune thinks we are sufficiently alive to
the danger to bo ready to accept tho recent de
cision of the Supreme Court as an excuse for
retreating from a false step. The Radicals are
anxious to get hold of Georgia and remodel
her in some way that may promise to be ser
viceable to the party.
From Florida.
The Catkbtuxab.—The Tallahassee Floridian
of the 27th says:
The weather for the last week has been bad
for crops. An nnusual quantity ot rain has fal
len, and wo are apprehensive that it will favor
the development of the caterpillar, tho only
^hing we have to fear now. They are seen in
small numbers on many of the farms, but we
sincerely hopo that they will not increase suffi
ciently to do much damage. Wo want about
two or three weeks of dry, hot weather and wo
think all will Ik: well.
The Tallahassee ash Geoboia Railroad.—
Tho Floridian says that at a meeting of directors
of the Tallahassee and Georgia Railroad a near
ly or quite unanimous expression wss made in
favor of running the proposed Tallahassee and
Georgia Road in the difection of Bainbridge,
and a committee consisting of Messrs. Scott,
Hilton and Brokaw were appointed to confer
with President Brnton on the subject. The sur
vey from Bainbridgo to Columbus is about fin-
ished, and it is likely that the surveying corps
will at an early day ran a line from Bainbridge
to Tallahaasee.
Rains In Aognsfa.
Very heavy rains occurred in Augusta last
Tuesday and Wednesday, submerging a good
many of the streots and washing others very
much. The track of the Columbia road was so
badly washed that the train was stopped at the
three mile post, and tho passengers woro brought
in on a construction train.
New Gmexiuck Dou-iaa.—Tho Treasury De
partment, it is stated, will soon issue new
United States notes of the denomination of one
dollar, the plates for which are now boing on-
graved. Upon tho new notes tho bust of Wash
ington will bo substituted for tho vignette of
Chief Jnstico Chase. This is in accordance
with an act of Congress, which prohibits the
likeness of any person now living from being
on the face of the national currency.
Gbeelxt considers the adoption of tho 15th
amendment secure, and therefore thinks it not
worth while to make its ratification by the ex
cluded States a condition of their admission.—
What effrontery is this, to acknowledge that
States havo been denied representation in Con
gress, not for disloyalty, but simply to force
their consent to a partisan measure. Greeley
is bold to avow what every ono know.—Ronton
Pott.
Tee Gaowsto Coop.—Somo of tho papers
complain of a disposition among brokers and
speculators to foroo extravagant estimates of
the young cotton crop upon the public. We in
vite attention to the speculations and estimates
of one of them, extracted from the Boston
Travelor, which puts the growing crop some
where botween two million and two million fivo
hundred thousand bales.
New Books.—Havens & Brown havo just re
ceived Clando Gnonx—tho last day of a con
demned man—by Victor Hugo. It is, in the
shape of a story, a powerful plea in favor of the
abolition of capital punishment. Carlton, pub
lisher—275 pages. Also:

odical, by tho brothers Tnplox—very beauti

Peace w South Cakousa.—Tho Edgefield
Advertiser states that Gov. Scott, so-called, has
deposited in tho jail of that place 250 Manches
ter rifles, and placed them nnder guard of negro
soldiers. Affairs are fast ripening in that
District for a row. Ex-Governor Bonham and
General Bntler waited on Scott and remon
strated with, lmt received for answer:
That he had not authorized an organization of
any militia company in our town or District.—
That he had merely sanctioned the employment
of a sufficient guard for the arms and ammnni
lion. And that he had sent said arms and am
’munition here as a measure of precaution, re
presentations being constantly made to him of
most lawless doings in different parts of the
District.
Pollard’s litre op Davis, and Secret Histo
ry op the Confederacy.—Tho National. Pub
lishing Company send us a copy of this book—
a handsome work of 500 pages. As the reader
is aware it is a record of Pollard's prejudices and
hatreds and is pronounced wholly untrustworthy
as history.
Rust in Cotton.—We hear that rust has ap
peared in some of tho cotton fields in Jones, and
it may probably be common if this damp and
showery weather is long protracted. -Showers
are now falling, we fancy, almost daily through
out the StAte. At present cotton looks well.
Lawlbssness is still unabated in Georgia. A
colored man was taken from the Dawson jail a
few nights since and literally cut to pieces by a
gang of disguised Kn-Klnx. SB
The above was in the RadicHorgan yester
day, and is as near the truth as that paper can
get. The man mobbed, (who was in jail for
murder,) was a white man, and, as such, his
taking off will be of no consequence to the pow
ers that be, in illustrating the lawlessness of
Georgia.
Rain in Marietta.—The Journal, of Friday,
says the heaviest rain we have ever been per-
mitted to witness fell in this locality on last
Tuesday evening; for the time being it was a
successful deluge.
(•ossip upon LK>« tainese question.
The rapidity with which the question of
Chinese Immigration and Laborhas risen to the
rank of an engrossing topic is unexampled. It
will probably become a leading issue in the next
Presidential election, and very naturally come
in as a collateral Issue of the other schemes of
some of the negro elevationists. We shall not
be surprised to see a very strong combination
against it. The White Labor Unions and other
organizations of the North and West will nat
urally take issue against Chinese immigration as
calculated to undermino free white labor. The
negrophilists of New England will lead off
against it as calculated to injure the interests of
negro labor in the South. The religions ele
ment of a portion of the country will side
against it as involving "the introduction of
swarms of unbelievers and idolators on the
Western continent. The negroes, ss we have
aeen*already, demand that the Chinese now in
the country shall be banished back again to
their native soil These elements alone will
form a strong combination against the immigra
tion of the Chinese, and we shall find them
clamorous for prohibitory enactments of a
stringent character. .
On the other hand, the vast material interests
at stake are well calculated to call into ex
istence a party which will insist that the" tra
ditional policy of the country in favor of leav
ing it open to immigration shall be preserved
and maintained. Without Chinese labor the
most productive portions of the American con
tinent—the vast alluviums of the South most re
lapse into wilderness. The negro teX not culti
vate them—the whito man cannot, and their
immense tributes to the wealth of the country
in tho finest cotton and in sugar threaten to be
almost wholly lest
So, also, in the mining business of the conn-
try—immense values must bo lost for tho want
of chcsp labor. Vast areas of gold diggings in
California will be valueless without tho cheap
labor from China, and the same is doubtless
true of many other mineral deposits all over the
continent. *
So, too, in all those gigantic works of in-1
ternal improvement which are essential to
cheap, rapid and easy communication between
the Atlantio and Padfio shores, the Chinaman
is as essential as the Irishman was in the At-'
lantie and Middlo States. We most construct
all those great railways and canals which are
absolutely necessary to homogenize so vast a
population—to consolidate their interests—and
to enable the Government to extend super
vision and protection over tho whole. From
the Isthmus of Panama northward to the exist
ing Pacific Railway, a vast and pressing demand
for cheap labor, in the construction of great
marine and overland rentes is opening, which
can only bo supplied by the Chinese.
These considerations, and many others we havo
no time to mention, are arraying a strong
party, composed in great part of the intelligence
of the conntiy, in opposition to all attempts to
interposo the barriers of arbitrary law against
the natural flow of tho great tide of Eastern im
migration to the Western Continent.
These men regard a policy which shall shat
ont Chinese labor from a continent yet unpeo
pled, and every acre of which is clamorous for
tho subduing hand of human labor, as just as
narrowminded as the Spanish expulsion of the
Moors, or tho English expulsion of the Flemings
and Israelites, or the French "expulsion of tho
Huguenots.
I would bo a piece of policy unworthy of civi
lization— five hundred years behind tho age—
identical, in fact, with that which has just been
abandoned by the Chinese and Japanese them
selves. The demand that the price of labor
shall be kept up by shutting ont supplies, is the
old doctrino of “Protection to American Indus
try” in a now and more ridiculous shape—which
would lie with equal force against all labor sa
ving machines and inventions which distinguish
modem arts and agriculture. The doctrine that
Christianity shall be secured by proscribing pa
gan immigration, carries ns back to tho ages of
tho Inquisition and tho cloister—when men
wero unwilling to trust Christianity to her own
rational and scriptnral defences, but must como
to aid with fire and sword, and when it was be
lieved that faith must triumph by flying from
sinners and infidels.
HWe see in this hasty review of the attitudes of
the two parties the lines for as pretty a conflict
of opposing hosts as wero ever drawn, and it
requires no great forecast to discover that a bat
tle is to ensno here. We see the hosts gather
ing every day. The Baltimore negroes havo
endeavored to commit the Radical party to their
view of the case by denouncing in one breath
white opposition to the mixing of colors in labor,
and Chinese immigration—demanding that tho
Chineso shall be expelled from the country.—
They have called a National Negro Convention
upon these propositions. We believe the Radi
cal party will bo badly mixed and disarranged
on these issues.
We shall next hear, before long, a grand whito
labor Congress demanding that Chineso immi
gration shall be stopped and denouncing tho
schemo of mixing colors. We shall soon hear
religions organizations deploring an influx of
pagans and clamoring for laws against it
We have no doubt, therefore, that John Chi
naman is going to stir np a lively commotion on
the American Continent—ho is going to throw
the nigger into the shade for a time—ho is going
toconfnso parties and give ns something to
think and talk about

says:
The rains so far as wo can learn have been
pretty general The crops are looking remark
ably well and all nature seems to rejoice and
smile, gladdening the hearts and enlivening the
countenances of our people. If no unforeseen
calamity overtakes the crops, our section will
have plenty and to spare.
A Coax Story.—A correspondent ot the Co-
Iambus Enquirer in Masoogee county, says ;
“Let me tell you what I saw on the 27th of
this month. I saw a man six feet two inches
high, stand, and with a cane three feet long,
touch forty-four ears of com. I saw the same
man, with the same stick over his head, fail to
reach the silk, when standing erect and close by
the base of a stalk on the same plantation.”
That’s tall.
Mbs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton is ont flatfoot
ed in favor of women wearing men’s dress. She
says:
The true idea is for the sexes to dress as
nearly alike as possible. We have seen several
ladies dressed precisely like gentlemen, who ap
peared far more elegant and graceful than any
real man we ever saw. A young lady in Fifth
avenue dressed in male costume for years," trav
elling all over Europe and this conntiy. She
says it would have been impossible to have seen
and known as much of life in woman’s attire,
and to have felt the independence and security
sho did, had her sex been proclaimed before
all Israel and the sun. There are many good
reasons for adopting male costume . First, it is
the most convenient dress that can be invented;
second, in it woman could secure equal wages
with man for the same work; third, a conceal
ment of sex would protect our young girls from
those terrible outrages from brutal men reported
in all our daily papers.
We have had our suspicions that Mia. Stanton
was after wearing the pants foe some time, and
now the murder’s out * ., ",
Verger’s Probable Fate.
From tie Cincinnati Commercial, JulyUB. :'
The findings and sentence in tho Verger case
are, according to rale, kept secret, till, they are
approved by the reviewing authorities at Wash
ington. We are advised, however, that the pro
ceedings in this case have been forwarded to
Washington. Now, as the sentence in any other
case short of capital punishment would have
needed only the approval of the commanding
General of the District-General Ames, in this
case—we can arrive atbnt one conclusion, name
ly: that the plea of insanity has not availed;
that the commission did not find for either of
the lower degrees of crime, justifiable homicide,
or manslaughter—but that it has found that the
killing of Colonel Crane was murder, and the
punishment awarded—death.
AflMn In Colambns.
The Enquirer of Thursday understands that
the membership of the African M. E. Church
in that city has increased to such an extent that
a new church building hen become a necessity so
urgent that active steps are being inaugurated
to secure one of sufficient capacity to accommo
date the members. We hear that they have
some idea of purchasing Temperance Hall, if a
fund large enough can bo^aised.
Everything about the city yesterday was quiet
and pleasant. But little was stirring. Mer
chants are doing nothing as amiably as if they
had no use for trade, and really enjoyed leisnre.
We admire their spirit but regret their condi
tion. But few strangers in the city. Receipts
of goods light. The Eagle and Phcenix Manu
facturing Co. continne to get huge packages of
new machinery for their mill now in conree of
erection.
The Sun and Times of the same date has the
following:
Judge William Dougherty, op the Chatta
hoochee Circuit.—Judge Johnson left tho
Bench of the Superior Court daring the morn
ing, yesterday, and it was immediately occu
pied by Hon. Wm. Dougherty- The matter
occurred in this wise: - A caso was called, in
whirl: Judge J. had been retained as counsel.
Under the law, when such is the case, opposing
counsel can consent to an attorney acting as
Judge pm tem. Mr. D. was agreed upon, and
sat in the case. The incident was a novel one
I in this Circuit.
Idle Negroes.—The city abounds with them.
They saunter around town in their best clothes,
and seem to think that labor is odious. Itisnext
to impossible to hire one to wash and cook, or to
cut wood and work the garden. Some of the
more fashionable haul their babies around in
carriages, and seem elated at the idea that the
“bottom rail is on top.” How they manage to
kee p np appearances is questionable. Of course
tho more depraved among them have no consci
entious scruples against stealing. I
Bainbridge, Cuthbert and Columbus Rail
road.—Tho Engineering Cqrps of the Bain
bridge, Cnthbert and Columbus Railroad reached
this city Tuesday afternoon, having ran the lino
of the preliminary survey of that road through
from Bainbridge to Columbus. The character
of the country on the line of survey from Bain-I
bridgo to Lumpkin, and the favorableness of the
ground for the road, was stated in a letter from
the Chief Engineer, Col Harkie, to tho Son,
several days ago. In a conversation with him,
wo learn that tho ground this side of Lumpkin
is generally favorable, with the exception of
that portion termed the Hnnnahatehee Hills.—
The lino jost ran, passes immediately through
tho village of Cossets, from thence, and in a
north direction to the Ochillie Creek at or near]
the plantation of Beverly A. Thornton, Esq.,
thence down the valley of that stream to the
Upatoie, passing throngh the lands and near tho
mill of Mr. Van Horn. From the crossing of
the Upatoie jost below the month of the Ochil
lie, the survey passed down the creek throngh
tho lands of William Baxter, and tho late Dr.
Robinson. The line passes north of tho dwell
ing on the Robinson plantation; thence through
the valley north of the dwelling on tho Andrews
[place, and crossing Bull Creek above tho Aver-
c-tt bridge, comes to the east commons of the
city, known as the “gallons” or “old City Maga
zine” grounds.
Another line, wo understand, will probably
be ran from this city to Lumpkin via. James
town ; and, possibly, another farther oast of a
portion of the lino just beyond Cossets, before
any decision as to location is made.
Col Harkie says tho land owners on tho line
of tho survey manifest a very liberal spirit as to
the right of way, most having already granted
the right
Cotton Prospect In Southwest Georgia.
I From the Cuthhert Appeal of the 30th,]
That false and exaggerated estimates and re
ports of the growing crop in this section, have
been widely circulated, no one will deny who is
posted as to facts, and capable of forming a
correct opinion.
Personal observation, and information de
rived from careful and competent individuals,
lead to the following conclusions:
First The crop is at the lowest calculation two
weeks behind its usual status at this stage of
the season. This is the result of tho exceedingly
lato spring, and the repeated slight frosts up to
May, which, though not killing tho plant ont-
right, yet left it feeble, yellow, and covered
with lice. Afterwards, abundant rains indneed
great snccalency and a rapid growth, which was
again suddenly checked by the late dry and ex
tremely hot spelL
"When tho rains set in two or three days
since, thousands of acres in this and adjoining
counties had ceased to grow, and were flowering
all over, like fields in September. Except
where ample distance in the hill, also, had been
left, the burning suns had played sad havoc
with the squares and yonng fruit.
"We have seen crops in which, at least, one
half of tho embryo frait lay on the ground, or
had dried upon the branches. This fact hun
dreds will attest
I Secondly—"Whcro fertilizers have been lav-
ishingly employed, nnder the stimnlns of repeat
ed runs prior to the drought, the cotton weed
has sprang forward Inxnriantly, and developed
far more stalk and fibre than bolls.
I Tho bnrningfgnano beneath, and tho fiery or-
deal above for several weeks past, have each
conspired to bring to grief the exuberant hopes
of many planters, who talked largely, of har
vesting more than a bale to the acre.
This portion of the crop therefore has suffer
ed most
We feel jnstifiod, accordingly, in the asser
tion that the forthcoming crop in Southwest
Georgia will not be an average one, leaving ont
of account even the woU authenticated tidings
that the genuine caterpillar has appeared in
Dougherty, Baker and other of tho lower connt-
iea Should this scourge prove ss fatal and
general as last year, the falling off will bo sad
indeed. Of courso the above statements arei
subject to modification in particular locations,
where tho seasons have been more propitious.
In the main, however, they win be found to be
correct
The Anti-Kent War—Serious Fight.
Several Persons Wounded,
Aidant, N. Y., July 27.—Later advices from
the scene of the anti-rent troubles in East
Greenbnsh, Rennsselaer county, yesterday, give
additional particulars of tho a’ffair. The prop,
orty about to be levied upon belongs to Wm.
Whitbeck, and not to Mr. Dennison.
As tho Sheriff’s posse advanced np the road
they encountered skirmishers from the enemy,
who were on tho look ont The skirmishers re
treated as tho posso advanced. Finally, the
Sheriff reached the premises. "Wm. "Whitbeck
was in front, while the others were standing
around apparently unconcerned spectators.—
Some of them were whitling. Sheriff Gregg
approached Wm. Whitbeck, and demanded pos
session of the farm under a process which he
held. Whitbeck drew a revolver, and declared
that he would relinquish his hold upon the
property only with his life. Just then a rupture
between ono of Whitbeck's sons and one of the
Sheriff’s posse occurred. Blows were struck
and in a minute a general fight was in progress.
Pistols, stones, and clubs were freely used.—
The anti-renters being prepared fought with
advantage.
The attack was so sudden and unexpected that
the Sheriff’s posse were taken aback. The re
sult of the engagement was that the Sheriffs
party were driven from the ground in conster
nation and dismay, and the anti-renters left
masters of the situation.
The fight lasted only about ten minutes, yet
ft was a regular hand-to-hand encounter, and
was desperately contested. In the melee six
persons are known to have been wounded, but
it is likely that some others were hurt. One
account has it that eight persons were wounded.
In addition to those reported wounded last night
aae Special Deputies Southard and Gideon SIc-
Menomy, both of this city, as well as William
Whitbeck, the person sought to be dispossessed.
Deputy Sheriff Gregg and Special Deputy
Whitbeok are seriously wounded, and are not
expected to survive their injuries.
The first named is reported dead, though as
he was left .on the ground his fate is uncertain.
