WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. 25, JSC9.
To Nj;w SniwcniBERs.—Should yon not get
n nnmbor of the Weekly of this week, you will
l>o served the ncxL We hnvo an old friend from
whom we received, last evening, another install-
nient of forty-four subscribers from the country
belowur. Ho ttftji llio Weekly Tkletirawi is a
gr«*at favorite.
t'rops-Eflrrt of Hot HVatiicr.
An intelligent friend in Central Georgia,
where but a few weeks ago the crops promised
to do letter than in almost any section of tho
State, giv.-s ns information ns to tho effect of
the recent changes of weather upon tlio crops.
Early corn was made weeks ago, and is l>etter
than it was last year. Com in the lowlands was
injuring by the extreme heat. As to cotton, ho
says it received a set-back of from two to three
weeks in the spring, by tho cold weather, which
made it Into in growing off. The heat of July
again checked its growth ; then the rains gave it
another start, which was checked by the cold
easterly winds about tho time of tho eclipse.
Tho plant becamo shriveled and affected by
rust. Then came tho past three weeks of
drought, and tho disaster that was tho result is
almost incomprehensible for so short a period.
Tho drought was not so long, but tho heat was
intense—all vegetation withered under it—tho
heavy dews which at this season keep cotton
fresh and growing woro not to bo seen. At
o’clock a. M., tlio sun was as bot as at .1 p. m.—
tho sun seemed “mad and venomous”—tho
cotton shed its forms, and manured cotton throw
off 1k>1Is three-fourths grown.
Tho result of all this lias been a great fall
ing off from tho anticipations of planters a few
weeks ago. Thoy looked for a good proportion
of tho crop to l»e made in August, which has
been prevented. Wo hope mins are now gener
al. Whilst w'O believo some yonng and later
cotton may, witli rains now and a late fall, make
soino more, yet tho disaster has come and no
remedy remains for it. Tho crop, ns wo said
yesterday, in Georgia must come down from onr
hopes from 50,000 to 100,000 bales.
Tho price of cotton—35 cents in New York
and Liverpool IJ’Jl.—is based, as wo seo, npon
estimates of 3,000,000 bales of cotton ns tho crop
of the South. Now, if tho whole Sonthern coun
try linn Hull'ered rm lias Georgia daring this
month, wo enn aafely cnlcnlnto upon high prices,
nnd tlio small crop that is made must indeed
command a high figure. Thin ia fonndod npon
what wo aro convinced ia n trnthfnl nnd correct
representation of tlio effect of the late hot sea*
son npon onr great staple.
Wo tbanh Providcneo that wo livo in a section
whoro we can raise a staple of snch universal
importance to mankind as to bring ns snch a
rovonne. What a sad condition mnst bo that of
I ho people of those sections Wost nnd North
whoso solo dependence is their grain crops,
nnd thoso n failure.
Cnors th Louisiana.—Cano and com crops
aro represented ns fino. In soino parishes cot
ton promises well; in othors very heavy rains
fell over a week ago and there was expressed a
fear of rot of bolls, nnd worms were depreda
ting. Excessive rains hnvo dnmnged cotton in
tho Southwest, nnd oxccssivo heat has damaged
it in Goorgia. Can them lw> anything bnt n
short crop? If short mnst not tho price bo vejy
high ?
Tnp. Griffin Star of tho 21st, says, “ Cotton
Holds that promised, n month ago, to yield 1000
to 1200 pounds of cotton to tho acre, will not,
at best, mnko moro, than two-thirds, nnd with
out a great cliango, will not yield even hnlf. Six
to a dozendend bolls inn stalk will drop at tho
touch. Rolls aro very small nnd forms dry up,
dio nnd drop off.
“Mr. Sol. Woodworth, jnst ontsidc of Griffin,
has an aero of com planted about tho first of
Jane—ditched on both sides and dammed np so
ns to throw moisturo through tho snlisoil. It
will yield 100 bushels. Ho has 10 acres adjoin
ing which will mnko about 7.0 bushels to the
acre—not manured.”
Toil Allen and Gallagher are negotiating for
n renewal of thoir battle within fifty miles of
Cincinnati, in eight or ten days lienco, with an
additional thousand dollars added to tho stokes
for which thoy recently fought in St. Lonis.
Wo also notico that a fellow named Joo Wor-
m»H wants to fight OHaldwin, tho Irish giant,
for fivo thousand dollars a sido.

ordered the Comptroller General to assess n tax
of four-tenths of one per cent, for State pur
poses this year.
The Memphis Avalancho is ont in favor of
Emerson Etheridgo for United States Senator

Sunday night last.
The Madison farm Journal reports the
change in the condition of Hon. N. G. Foster
as unfavorable. No hopo of his recovery.
The New York Times of tho 21st reports the
following sales of cotton on tho 20th inst-, for
future delivery:
100 hales on the basis of low middling for
September at 32jo,; 200 bales on tho basis of
low middling for October at 20c.; 400 bales on

The following was telegraphed to the Western
papers from Washington, under date of August
I4th:
The acting Secretary of tho Treasury, npon
the recommendation of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue has reduced tho pay of assistant
assessors in North Carolina and Tennessee from
ifAoO to $"»j>cr day; in the gulf States from
8'i0 20 to cm 00 per day, and in States and
Territories on the Pacific coast front .*8 (X) to
'$7 00.
Wood, tho ex-detective, in a circular published
to-day, charges that dnring tho impeachment
trial, Secretary Boutwell, through the Rev. Mr.
Matchell, offered him $10,000 for certain infor
mation to bo given against President Johnson.
Cost of Manure.—It is estimated that Eng
land pays annnally $300,000,000 for manure
more than the entire commerce of that country.
The total value of a year's crop has been re
ported to Parliament, somo time ago, as being
about$3,000,000,000. The cropincludcs the ani
mal as well as the vegetable.
The Philadelphia Labor Congress.
All that ingenious theorizing upon human
rights which has attended the manumission of
the slaves and their elevation to the dignity
of a political power, seems now to be passing
ont of the possession of tho Northern politicians,
preachers and philosophers. The workmen are
getting tired of it, and showing that they can
talk it as well for themselves as it was ever dis
coursed in liehalf of the man and brother.
Tho recent American Lal»or Congress, so-
called, in Philadelphia, is learned Dpon the
rights and dignity of human labor ; bnt as their
diseonrse is not levelled at tho “slave holding
aristocracy,” bnt the aristocracy of bondholders
and moneyed capital, tho radical papers have
suddenly lost their whole appetito for this kind
of talk—they complain of it-they reason against,
denounce nnd ridicule it In fact, the shrewd
est part of them seo in it tho handwriting npon
tbo wall—for they have no nsc for any view of
tho rights of labor nnd manhood which war np
on the rights of landholders—npon taxation—
npon tho national banking currency—which is
eloquent against jobbing, lobbying and Congres
sional corruption—against family traveling and
recreation at tho cost of tho National Treasury
and various other practices which characterize
tho party of “high moral ideas.”
We havo no donlit the farther elaboration of
this labor movement Is destined completely to
strip tho Radicals of their disguise as a party of
tho people, when they are simply the champions
of a moneyed aristocracy, and tho upholders of
a centralized,irrcsponsiblo.dcspotism and a gov
ernment outside of fundamental law.
Bat it is dae to troth to say that the atlitnde
of this so-called Congress of American Labor is
narrow, exclusive and proseriptivo._ They seem
to have been infected by that one-sided blue
dress of radicalism itself which displays a zeal
for lmman liberty in ono breath by tho emanci
pation of negroes and tho enslavement of whites.
Tho Labor Congress boast of a half a million
votes represented in Trades Unions, nnd call
themselves “tho workingmen of Amoriea.”
Where, then, are the six million votes which
make np the grand ballot ? Whero are the mil
lions of hard-working farmers who till their
own little glebes, and aro tho hardest and most
indnstrions workingmen in America? Are
these, far grenter in number than all the rest
combined, to bo ignored? Will tho intelligent,
working mechanics re-enact the antiquated fol
lies of tho tariffics who, while clamoring for
“protection to American labor,” can seo Amer
ican labor only in tho workshops, when not a
litho of it is there ? Will they, too, clamor for
n kind and degree of protection which can be
granted only nt tho oxpenso of tho great muss
of American labor ?
If thoy will, their party mnst l>o ns small us
their position is weak and indefensive. Any
labor party which leaves ont tho great cluss of
American laboring farmers is like tho play of
Hamlet with Hamlet omitted.
Nevertheless nono of tho speeches and reso
lutions before this Congress seem to compre
hend this preponderating cluss. Thoy embrace
in their scopo nnd design only thoso ideas born
of mechanical labor roinons nnd in apparent an
tagonism with tho interests of tho American
working farmer. Thoy insist on legalized honrs
of labor—upon tho oxclnsivo right of tho work
ingmen to fix rates of compensation and ail tho
conditions of labor-principles which, if ndopted
by tho groat body of American working farmers
wonld bo pronounced nnjnstifiahlo and absurd.
Labor devoted to tho prodnetion of food is as
mnch entitled to fix its own prico exclusively as
labor employed in tho prodnetion of clothing.
Bnt if marketmen nnd farmers should combine
to establish prices by arbitrary resolutions eve
rybody wonld bo ready to admit tho unfairness
of tho proceeding. All prices and values aro fit
and proper subjects for a compromise of views
between buyer and seller, nnd any combination
which prevents this, is unnecessarily unfair nnd
incqnitablo. It is part nnd parcel of that sys
tem of protection which seeks toachievo partial
benofits nt the oxpenso of tho greater number.
Tho Labor Congress denounces many of these
schemes as odions monopolies and makes bitter
complnints against them, bnt when they claim
for themselves tho exclusive right to fix prices,
irrespective of tho condition of tho market nnd
tho viows of linyers, thoy are seeking to perpe-
trato tho most tyrannical monopoly known
among men.
Now, unquestionably tho working men—that
is tho physical toilers in America—can havo
their own way with this government, if they
will nnito for the purpose. Thoy conld effect
ually dispossess the aristocracy of bond-holders
and jobbers who aro now wielding this govern
ment exclusively in their own interests; bnt in
order to do this tho working men must organize
npon principles which-are sound and universal.
Thoy cannot claim for mechanics moro than
can bo conceded to farmers nnd traders or any
other class of tlio community.
Editorial Correspondence.
. Atlanta, Jane 24, 18C9.
Very “airly in tho momin,” jnst abont tho
time that adolescent and precocious Chanticleers
begin to try their unpractised notes, and the
old roosters cock their bends nnd oyo them
askant, us much as to say “shut np your heads,
yon young scamps, nntil yon can learn how and
when to crow”—I say jnst nbont that time, yours,
very respectfully, has finished a j aunt to Atlanta,
to attend tho Press Convention, and then to
start ont on the grand Halbert Press Explora
tion, among tho mineral treasures of Upper
Georgia. If lack attends me, and I find a few
thousand bushels of diamonds, I have jnst con
cluded to present each patron of the TFrr.Era.Arn
•with a “pint;” bnt if I fail, I shall do no better
than givo him the “pints” of tho expedition.
At Yinovillo I stepped into the crowd^l cars.
Thcro were a number' of the representatives of
tho press within, trying to double themselves np
for a comfortable nap. There were Jones, of
tho Cnthbert Appeal; Weston, of tho Dawson
Jonroal; Styles, of tho Albany News; Christian,
of tho Americas Courier; tho senior editor of
tho Republican, of tho same city, and tho editor
of tho Sandersville Central Georgian. I was told
that there were also representatives of tho Sa
vannah press on board, hut did not seo them.
At Forsyth, Mr. Harrison requested me to rep
resent the Monroo County Advertiser, and, in
doing so, I shall be invested with a doable dig
nity—a noble illustration to the aspiring youth
of the country of the elevating tendency of re
publican institutions. Barr, of the Middle
Georgian, got on at Griffin, and others had gone
on before. No doubt there will bo the largest
gathering of the Fourth Estate ever known in
Georgia. . Tho Convention meets in the City
Hall at 11 o'clock this morning.
A large deputation was also on the train
bonnd for Indian Spring and the fancy ball to
night Ah, there mnst needs be great doings
in tho art Terpsichorean to call ont my friend,
Dr. R., of Macon, who will perhaps lay aside
his cane on that occasion, and trip the light
fantastic in the guise of the bold chief of the
McGregors—the stalwart Rob Roy. Fancy
somo of your staid merchants as bravos and
gondoliers in peaked hats—dresses slashed with
pink ribbons, and tho extreme edge of the cau
dal appendage of some sable colored liovinc
quadruped, properly waxed, and applied to the
upper lip—forming a mustache of lovely and
enchanting ferocity. As for the youngsters of
both sexes, from the pile of trunks, I know
they have exhausted all the masquerade mate
rial in Macon, and are bonnd to be prismatic
and gorgeons. Wonderful is the power of love.
There have been rains all along the entire
route—lighter at the lower end and heavier at
the upper. From ten miles below Griffin up
ward, water was frequently to be seen in the
excavations at the side of the road. The coun
try between this point and Macon has all suffer
ed more or less from drought, bnt the rust is not
reported as very injurious.
The Macon A Western Road is in fine order
and smooth as it will ever get to be, nntil it sets
the example of steel-capped rails laid npon cy
press or cedar crossties, of which latter, abund
ance can be fonnd in Georgia. With such a su
perstructure as this, the road, with occasional
levelling, wonld bo good for twenty or thirty
years’ service.
What the Convention will do to-day. I am un
able to say. I know what they would like to do;
but my ingenuity is at fault in suggesting any
scheme to accomplish the object. I will write
you as frequently as opportunity permits
sometimes it will bo a few lines penciled in the
cars or by the way side, and it will all go with
out care or premeditation.

CHRONIC CATARRH.
7b On Editor* of the Jfiiron T< Injraph :
In proceeding to a description of thoso diseases
most Jpeqncnt and fatal in their effects upon tlio
health and strength of tho Lungs, and, therefore,
the most fruitful sources of Consumption, I com
mence with Xasal Catarrh. In consequence of the
almost fatal apathy of tho profession, this diseaso
has been tho remoto cause of consignment to an
untimely grave of more victims than Asiatic Chol
era ; for it performs as certainly, though moro tard
ily, after years of mental anguish and physical
suffering, wliat cnoLrax accomplishes in a few
hours.
So long as tho pcoplo remain ignorant of tho
cans os which prodneo CoxscannoK, and of the
symptoms which mark its first stealthy and insid
ious approaches, wo cannot hopo that any timely
stepe-will be adopted for its prevention.
Coxsmrmox havo several stages ; it has a first,’
or forming stage ; a second or eonftmuii stage;
and a third, or ulcerative stage. Tho lungs do not
become immediately stuffed with tuber eta, or cor
roded with foul ulcers, but only after months or
years of irritation, or slow insidious progress from
tho Blight catarrh to tho seated bronchitis, charac
terized by a little hacking cough, slight pain in the
chest, occasional Hashes, accelerated pnlso, furred
tongue and dyspepsia. Then from bronchitis to tho
first disposition of a littlo tubercular matter in a
single globule, with moro or less aggravation of all
tho previous symptoms, as the deposits increase in
qnantity, supplanting the healthy struct uro of tho
lungs, when softening or ulceration takes place,
festering and harrowing among the delieato air
colls, nntil tho wliolo of tho diseased InngB becomo
reduced to a hopeless mass of disorganization, and
that dread malady has reacliod its last and fatal
stage.
Tho error is too wide-spread among the people,
and too general even among physicians, to regard
Coxsuhition as a disease characterized not only by
cough, but Purulent Expectoration, Hectic Fover,
Night Sweats. Wasting of Flesh and Loss of
Strength ; in other words, to apply tho namo Con-
sramoN only to tho last stago of tho disease.—
Wore it otherwiso, wo should not havo to listen witli
feelings of pity and sorrow to such expressions as
“it is only a Catarrh,” “tho diseaso is all in tlio
throat,” or “it is only a slight bronchial affection."
Alas, how few rcalizo tho fact that thoso diseases,
unimportant as they aro generally looked upon, and
CoxsoimoK, aro all links in tho samo chain, and
that thcro are few who suffer from thoso affections
who do not sooner or later fill a consnmptivo’s
grave.
Cnuosic Nasai. Cataekh ia generally tho result
of neglected and frequently repeated attacks of tlio
acuto variety of this diseaso (which become practi
cally known to most of us several times a year in
tho shape of a “cold in tlio head.”)
After a long or shorter timo tlio liabilities to at
tacks of Accra Catareii becomo increased, and tho
patient finds, after it lias passed off, thcro remains
a discliargo of yellow Mucus. This is Chronic
Catarrh in its most usual form. On examining tho
nostrils with a speculum, or instrument specially
adapted to that pnrposo. wo find its lining mem-
brano moro or loss thickened—redder than in
health, and often ulcerated. In tho simplest form
wo havo merely an accnmuluation of yellow
or straw-colored mucus in tho Posterior Xares
above and behind tlio palate, wliicli tho patient
“hawks” ont from timo to timo daring the day. As
the diseaso advances, littlo points of ulceration ap
pear in tho mucous membrane, npon which the se
cretion becomes hardened, forming crusts, requir
ing almost constant “ picking" to keep it free; and
as theso inspissated masses of mucus aro tom from
tho diseased surface of tho nose, thoy becomo irri
tated and frequently bleed profusely.
OZX1NA
Is only an advanced stago of Cnuoxic Catareii
when tho ulceration of the mucous membrane has
becomo extensive and the bones of tho nose in
volved in tho disease. Tho discharges in this caso
aro purulent, or of a yellowish or greenish color,
frequently tinged with blood, with an odor generally
moro or less disagreeable, or intolerably offensivo.
In tlio language of Dr. G. B. Wood, of Philadelphia,
“ This form of disease is ono of tho most obstinate
and disagreeable affections which tho physician has
to encounter. In some instances tho breath of tho
patient is so revoltinglr offensivo as almost to iso-
lato him from society, and render him an object of
disgust even to himself.” This form of tho disease
generally occurs in strumous, scrofulous and un
healthy constitutions. When tho health is injured
and tho vitality of tho system is broken down by
dissipation and vicious habits, tho blood becomes
impure, and all local diseases are liable to assume
an aggravated character.
