gressional niggers nt the Court-honse, in Bald

ion of tho polls.beat the whites.drovo every dem
ocratic nigger away and polled 220 majority for
Buckley. They knew exactly what Congress
expected of them, and what was understood by
reconstruction according to tho Radical method.
Wo heard a gentleman of high character, and
ono never identified with tho Democrats or
secessionists, remark yesterday, that ho believed
every single Southern State would be recon
structed and reconstructed as often as it was
necessary to secure two-thirds majority for the
Radicals in Congress; and there was no audacity
of which tho party would not be guilty to secure
unlimited control of the government. Tho Bald
win niggers are up to the work.

Negroes in tui: Savannah Post Office.—Tho

it on insult to tho people of Savannah. Well, it
is not an insult ns tho administration comprc

in their judgment, a singlo corn-field negro is
not worth more than all tho white men, women

Editors Telegraph : I see by your daily edi-
ISC9. tion, whose neat, smiling, well-filled columns
greet mo every morning with most refreshing
regularity, that the dwellers in your section, and
below, havo had their prayers for rain answered
at last, and are likely to have too much of a
good thing. We, up here, had similar foarslast
week, when the reign of tho dronght was broken
by ono very good, and ono tolerably ditto sea
son. Tho sun was quite a stranger for several
days, but this morning is ont brilliantly. The
rcRnlts of theso rains aro likely to prove very
satisfactory. Early com, of course, was almost
too far gone to bo redeemed, but that coining to
maturity later in tho season shows very plainly
tho beneficial effects of tho reinforcement.
Crops of all descriptions aro springing towards
harvest with an added vigor and luxuriance most
gratifying to see.
Farmers tell mo that com will open in the fall
at not over 73 cents per bushel. Read, in the
light of your prophecy of §2.00 for Macon and
vicinity next year, our condition, in this respect,
seems enviable, indeed.
The weather just now is simply superb—no
other adjective does it justice. Not too warm
daring the day, with an alternation of clouds
and sunshine, and pure, soft breezes whoso
wooing makes the mere act of respiration a lnx-
ury. and the nights are even moro enjoyable.
With no mosquitoes and cover an absolute ne
cessity for comfort, tho most restless, nervous
man imaginable, is almost forced to sleep with
a deep, dreamless, refreshing regularity and
soundness that only ho can appreciate.
I rode down the railroad six or seven miles
yesterday, in company with tho owner, a gen
tleman of this place, to visit a veritable iron
mountain. I send yon per express some speci
mens of tbo ore, that you mny judge for your-
selves as to its promise. It lies within fifty
yards of tho railroad, and combines as many
elements—it appears to mo—for successful and
profitable working, as are to bo found any
where. Tho ore Ues in singlo stones and hngo
masses all over the mountain. Yon cannot
tako a step without treading on it, and the in
dications are, as pronounced by Pennsylvania
miners who have seen it, that it is but tho crop
ping ont of a very deep and extensive vein,
tho base of tho mountain is a pond, kept fnll
never-failing springs, and famishiDg an abund
ant supply of water for furnace purposes. There
is also plenty of space for all necessary build
ings, and wood in tho greatest nbnndance.
Here, then, you havo tho oro, wood, water,
plenty of room for all bnilding purposes, right
at tho mine, and transportation within almost
arm's length. Specimens similar to thoso
send yon wero pronounced by tho minors
whom I have alluded, as containing at least sev-
enty-fivo per cent, of ore. Even tho ‘loan" ore
was rated at forty-fivo to fifty per cent. Theso
miners made tho owner of tho mountain an
offer for the property, with tho intention
erecting, at an early dato, works to cost §100,-
000; bnt tho figures wero considered too low,
and so tho mnttor stands at present I think
they will probably make another “pass” yet
On my way to this iron region sovcral farms
wero passed which, from location, character of
soil, and abnndant water supply, would scorn
specially suited to tho raising of stock and tho
>rodnclion, in perfection, of the various grapes,
tut for tho railroad, which passes directly
throngh them, thoy would probably never have
done moro Ilian mako a scanty living for tho
cultivation; but now they aro destined, some
day, to bring very high prices. One of them,
in Polk county, containing threo hnndred and
twonty acres, with tho railroad running within
ono hnndred yards of tho honse, seemed to mo
particularly nttmetivo. Tho owner averaged
eleven bushels of wheat per acre tho last season,
and has on his farm a largo quantity of as benuti
fnl natnral meadow as I havo ever scon. Theso

say all of Georgia has had plenty of rain. A
portion of this (Clayton), and a portion of Hen
ry and Fayette oounties, have not had a rain to
wet the ground in seven weeks, and the upland
com will be very poor. Tho cotton has also

speech, ho said all tho Hinds speakers were

cal wing of tho Republican party, and is also a
Congressional candidate. No sooner had Dr.
Hanghey used the hireling expression than Dr.

agricultural, mercantile and other interests.

increased demand can be satisfied out of present
resources. The quantity of cotton on hand in 1 wltU '
Liverpool is very small, having only increased
by 13,700 bales sinco tho opening of the year.
It may bo noted that tho average stock held dur
ing the twenty years ended -I860, was no less
than 747,000 bales, the quantity on hand at the
present time being 3GS,800, or less than half that
amount Even if we take the case of the last
three years, the stock is at an unusually low ebb.
In July, I8G6, the quantitv held was 1,020,000 | t u“ V
bales : in 18C7, 738,000; and in 18GS, 603,000— I Thflr P 0 and D. W. \ischer.
the average being 778,000 bales. It has, how
ever, been gradually declining, until it has
reached the present low figure. But any in
crease in consumption would force prices up to
such a point as to prohibit shipments of goods
to any great extent and we doubt if tho foreign
markets are yet sufficiently denuded of goods to
allow of any material increase in prices abroad.
For this reason we incline to tho belief that the
activity which has lately set in through the
Manchester market is of a temporary nature,
and will not bo maintained in the face of a con
tinued rise in the price of the raw material.

of Fort Valley, are requested to bo present and

In Darkness.—On Sunday night at Wesley
Chapel, after tho close of a very able sermon by
Rev. James E. Evans, and while a great number
of penitents were in the act of kneeling for pray
er, the gas lights suddenly died out, leaving an
immense congregation, two-thirds of whom were
ladies, in total darkness. The scene for a few
minutes was one of intense excitement, but the
preacher wisely improved it is an apt illustration ]
of the sinners’ moral darkness, and his remarks
impressed his darkened anditory with feelings of
profound solemnity. Candles and lamps were
soon brought in, and after about fifteen minutes
the gas restored to working order. The incident
was generally attributed to accident or low water
