Edition- Telegraph : I find tlie crops in this

tho otlior half has been without n season for

this county. I have seen a good many fields
with nil tho young forms hanging on tlie stalks
as yellow and dry as straw. Tho bast farmers
say tlie county will not mnko a hnlf.crop of corn

From the following extract from tho Sandus
ky Register (Ohio) it would seem that onr
friend, Itoff, who desired to bo styled Admiral
of the Lake Squadron, does not confino himself
to catching fish when summering at Pnt-in
Bay :
h'il. Register : Among the many incidents
happening here in this busy and thronged water
ing place, one occurred yesterday of more
than ordinary interest, and worthy of record.
Among the guests of tho Pnt-in-Bay House is
one family of Johnsons from Coshocton, a very
fine, well educated family. Yesterday, as one
of the daughters was ont rowing, she. by over
exorcise, fainted nnd fell into tho bay, but was
rescued almost immediately by tho daring and
heroic efforts of A. A. Itoff, of Georgia. Mr
Uoff was on shore, [but in a moment pnlled off
his coat, vest and boots,) and plunged into the
water, bearing Miss Johnson safely into tho
tioat. Mr. Itoff is an old visitor at tho Islands,
and knows oxcctly how to manage in such a
case, requiring immediate action. Bass.

nsible man—
who has visited Georgia since tlie surrender,
will ventnro to say that he is not as safe here, in
person, property, and feeling, as he would be in
Boston, New York, Chicago or Washington—
miserable sensational, interested, or fanatical
scribblers to the contrary notwithstanding. It is
true that onr people are not only willing, but
most anxioas, to accept tho situation—to return
to the American Union—to ignore the wrongs,
nnd suppress the passions, of the war—to recon
struct fraternity—to invite co-operation in all
industrial enterprizes, and again exhibit to the
world the most sublime of all historical.specta
cles: a great pooplo living harmoniously be
neath the protection of constitutional govern
ment.
Why aro wo not believed ? Why can not the
intelligent men of all parties North givo ns
credit for some sense—some honesty—some
honor, and some respect for tho memories and
traditions, nnd past developments, of Southern
character? Onr interest—onr poverty—onr
present—onr fntnra—even our sorrows, nro
guaranties of the sincerity of onr professions.
Ah! is it true that tho leaders of parly at the
North are not only cognisant of tho tmo state
of Southern opinion and Southern feeling; bnt
nro also convinced that wo are trustworthy as
to onr professions ? Wo think it is, but we fear,
that notwithstanding, for tho sake of tho re
tention of political power, they studiously teach
tho pooplo that even Georgia is disloyal, and it
is indispensable to subject her again to pro
visional nnd military government. We can only
say as we have said before—old party issue* are
dead; and we belong to that party whieh will re-
itore the State fully to the Union, the Confuta
tion being the text of all obligation• and the pro
tection of all right*. And we believe that we
might, to this extent, speak for nine out of ten
of tho people of Georgia. Bat our pnrposo is
not now to dwell npon this subject. Wo return
to tho inquiry, “will they come ?” These are
not merely invitations of courtesy. Tho Fair
is the rcsnlt of the necessities of tho country,
is snstained by tho sentiment, nnd we might
odd, tho enthusiasm of tho pooplo. Tho invi
tations, thoreforo, spring ont of tho heart of
tho Empire State of tho Sonth. They aro a
practical iteration of tho as yet, by himself, un
observed- injunction of Ulysses Grant, “lot ns
hnvo peace. ” A tender of tho olivo branch.
Tho object of the Fair is to stimnlnto nnd or
ganize tho agricultural enterprise of Georgia
Thoso things being so, why shonld not snch men
ns Bontwell, Greeley, Sprague and Shormon,
and others of liko position, favor ns with their
presence ? Wo submit that the object appeals
to their patriotism, beennso it will contribute to
restore tho harmony of the Union, and re-estab
lish, confirm and porpetnate free government
Justice, charity nnd conciliation may effect all
this—force and fraud nover. Force may extin
guish tho life of tho Sonth, bat its spirit never.
Onco in the Union npon the basis of cqaality.
with tho other States, the North may be assured
that Goorgin will, in good faith, enter npon a
now experiment of tho practical working of tho
venerated principles of 177C.
It nppeah to tho generosity of tho North. * No
civilized pooplo bavo suffered snch terriblo dis
asters by war ns tho Sonthom States of tho
Union. Wo pretermit tho doath of onr gallant
men—tho melancholy berenvement of wives,
children and friends—tho sad social disorders of
onr communities nnd the political proscription
of onr ablest men; and refer now to (he deplor-
nblo poverty to which we have been reduced by
tho sadden emancipation of tho negroes. This
involved not only tho loss of property in slaves,
bnt an immense depreciation in lands and al
most nil other property—an ntter change in pre
vious modes and habits of forming and planting
nnd especially great redaction of incomo in all
department of business. Agriculture bas been
nnd must bo the chief bnsiness of tho people (as
is well understood) tho basis of profit in other
pursuits. The object of this Stato Fair being ns
stated, it would seem that it makes an irresistible
appeal for sympathy and countenance from snch
men of tho North as control public opinion. If
they nro men—if they are generous men, they
will givo ns tho aid of their co-operating pres
ence.
Bat, again, it appeals directly to the interest
of the North. Onr great staples aro ns necessary
to tho North as to ourselves. Tho merchants
of New York nnd Boston—tho manufacturers of
New England—tho stock raisers of the West—
tho creditors of the government—the day la
borers of tho factories—publishers nnd nuthors
—indeed, all classes nro directly or indirectly
interested in tho ngricaltnre of Georgia and her
sister States.
We cannot stop to demonstrate these state
ments—they are liko axiomatic troths, and really
need no demonstrations. Wo need only farther
say, that, if wo nro lot alone politically, and
can secure tho aid of Northern capital and
Northern enterprise and Northern sympathy, onr
variously productive lands, and our gloriously
fructifying climate will pour into tho whole
Union tributes of wealth, richer by far than the
golden ore of all the earth. Bat wo forbear.
-IDS they come T Tho answer is with them.
Does nny ono amongst ns suggest that theso
utterances are unmanly condescensions. In
reply, by no means—they aro consistent with
both national and personal self-respect. Where
truth and honor are not compromised, it is
manly to ask aid in distress. 'What if we do
stoop ? Wo stoop to conquer. To conquer
what ? Peace, order and prosperity for our
selves nnd our children.
__ Horrible Outrage.—A Respectable Ladt
Violated and Murdered. — A gentleman of
known veracity and position in the State, who
came down the State Road yesterday evening,
reports that a respectable lady at Adairsville
had been found, yesterday morning, murdered,
and giving evidence of having been violated.—
Her skull was fractured and contusions on her
throat marked where the foul fiend clutched her
in his murderous efforts. It was supposed to
have been the work of a negro ruffian, and when
the train passed, every citizen of Adairsville
was engaged in hunting for the vile miscreant
The Bullock-Anoier Sorr.—In onr notice
yesterday morning of the law suit instituted by
Gov. Bullock against Treasurer Angier, there
was an error unintentionally made by ns. Gov.
Bullock, for the use of the State, has instituted
suit against Treasurer Angier for $21,000, al
leging that he has used himself the funds of the
State over forty-two times, and therefore liable
in that amount under the law that imposes a
penalty of $.">00 for each and every time the
Treasurer uses or allows others to use the funds
of the State. The declaration was filed by H.
P. Farrow, Attorney General for the State. We
learn that Gov. Bnllock has given a retaining
fee of $500 to a legal firm in this case. Other
suits are on tho tapis, and the fight is expected
to open in earnest.
[Atlanta Constitution, ‘lath.
W Correspondent of the 21st inst. writes to
the Chronicle and Sentinel; The corn crop in

half crops will be raised, yet, altogether, a
sufficiency to prevent suffering.
of Maconians, who reported themselves get
ting along comfortably. Air salubrious—living
good—no mosqnitoes, etc.—amusements scarce.
Living just for the sako of health must be dull
business. •' f \
The country does not look so badly parched
np as I anticipated, and below Marietta the for
est trees and nndergrowth show more signs of
distress than above that point. Tho people
will make more com than reported.
I find the Western and Atlantic Road in fair
condition and improving. The fact is, Colonel
Hulbert is a firstrate railroad man, and is mak
ing some very important improvements to this
great property of tho State. Ono of these is a
I proper ballasting of tho road with stone. The
| track is made dry and solid—the cross-ties do
not eh urn in wet weather and so throw the track
ont of level—and the ties themselves, being kept
comparatively dry, last much longer. Tho pro
cess of ballasting is os follows: After the rrack
I is laid, it is then raised abont eight inches and
underlaid with stones not bigger than your fist,
nnd rammed underneath with iron crowbars.
After each tio is thus given a solid bearing, the
intervals are all filled up' with the stones and the
sides of tho roadway excavated in ents so as to
givo the track a comparative elevation of five
feet. By this means tho track is always firm,
and sufficiently dry in tho wettest weather.
This work costs about $2500 per mile, and is, in
the long rnn, a grand economy. Col. Hulbert
will, in time, ballast tho whole road and save a
great deal of money to the State, although tho
immediate outlay will be heavy. In such per
manent improvements which aro the dictates of
a wise economy—in replacing all the structures
stroction of houses it must produce a sensa
tion. There was also a great variety of iron
ore—one, a Hermatite ore, considered to be
ninety per cent, pure iron. A surprising vari
ety of clays—of mineral paints—of stone for
sharpening purposes, etc., etc.—forming a col
lection of hundreds of specimens which we
could only glance at. bnt should be studied for
hours.
A collation from the hospitable people of Car-
tersville closed the visit, and we moved off with
cheers and hearty regrets that we could not
stop longer. Cartersvillo Is growing rapidly.
It is in the midst of a fine country, and is des
tined to be an important place.
But I am tired of writing on tho cars. We
have just passed the tunnel, and I will stop.

Washington, August 23.—The movement al
luded to some time ago favoring a modification
of the laws affecting incomes has assumed a
more formidable and general character. The
plan proposed is to increase the tax on whisky
to one dollar per gallon, which it is claimed will
realize $80,000,000, if tho means now within
reach of the revenue bureau for the prevention
of fraud shall be adopted; from tabacco at least
$30,000,000 can be realized; from stamps, with
a modification of the present law, say $10,000,-
000; from fermented liquors $10,000,000; from
license $10,000,000, and then from the modified
incomo tax but $15,000,000 would bo required
to make a total of $155,000,000, an amount
equal to Secretary Boutwell’s estimate of the
expenditures of the present fiscal year. The
plan is to confine the income tax to the tax on
interest paid on the national debt, tho five per
cent, to be deducted when the interest is paid,
This will realize $0,255,000, without a dollar of
expense incurred in the collections. The bal
ance it Is proposed to raise by taxing incomes
derived from surplus property embraced in
stocks of banks, railways and other corporations
and from interest paid on bonds of such corpo
rations.

At Cartersville a very large assemblage of la
dies and gentlemen had gathored to greet us,
nnd welcomed tho train with shouts and the
strains of martial music. On leaving tho care,
tho Governor and fraternity of press wore ad
dressed by the venerable Colonel M. A. Cooper,
os follows:
Gentlemen of the Krcureion :—We present
ourselves os a Committee from tho citizens of
Cartersville, to reccivo and greet yon on this |
occasion. To yon, gentlemen of science, intel
ligence nnd worth—representatives of the press;
nnd yon, Superintendent Halbert of tho Western
and Atlantic Railroad, nnd Governor Bn#|£>ck,
of Georgia, wo give a hearty welcome, nnd’Ten-
der to yon the hospitalities of this little place.
Tarry in it as long as yonr objects and conve
nience may anthorizo. Yonr visit is welcomo
to several of the peoplo of Georgia and especi
ally to Cherokee. By the wise and enlightened
policy of this administration, yon aro called to
see and examino tho mineral resources of our
country. He has well remarked that the iron
interests of Georgia are second only to that of
tho cotton region. More than that will prove
tine. In its results and associations for natural
wealth, grandeur and power, in peace or in war,
it will far exceed that of cotton.
Tho officers of tho Cartersville and Van Wort
Railroad, havo gathered an army of mineral
specimens of ore from tho vicinity of Van Wert
in aid of yonr researches. These are here dis
played before yon. Wo think, that for valne,
variety richness and abandonee, tho like cannot
be produced from any other location in any
country. Hero is slate for roofing, for furniture,
for building and for other purposes; iron ore
withont limit; marble of all varieties from whito
to black; grindstones, whetstones and hones;
mineral paints, plnmbngo and fire clay, with
gold-bearing quartz—all in close proximity to
stono coal. We havo added a few samples of
iron ore from Etowah. Theso aro well known
and havo been tested and used for all purposes
for twenty-fivo years. We havo sent tho pig
iron from these ores to England and had cntlery
made of it. Hero is a razor there made from it,
yet in tho original package.
Gentlemen, yon are now on tho line of the
great mineral formation of the Sonth—tho tran
sition from tho primary to the secondary forma
tion. Yonr examinations and comments will
gratify the pride of Georgians and excite the
admiration of all who read or hear.
To theso remarks Gov. Bnllock responded, in
substance, as follows:
CoL Cooper, Gentlemen of the Committee,
Ladies and FeUoic-Utuens: I can speak as
confidently for CoL Hulbert, as I can for my
self, when I say that our ambition is to use this
great property of tho State of Georgia—this
Western and Atlantic Railroad—so as most
effectually to develop the grand natural re
sources of this ancient State, and to promote
every interest of her people. I hail with joy
the prospect of the speedy construction of the
Cartersville and Van Wert Railroad, which can
not too soon be built, and the more effectually
to interest the people of Georgia and tho out
side world in those immense mineral deposites
which constitute so large a portion of the in
comparable natural wealth of the State. I have
invited the gentleman of the press to visit with
me and personally inspect these vast deposites.
I am sure that CoL Clisby, here present, who, as
President of the Georgia Press Convention, will
feel authorized to speak for the fraternity will
echo to the full the sentiments that yon, Mr.
Chairman, havo so well expressed on this in
teresting occasion.
Hero the gentleman alluded to, was “bronght
to the front” and said : Mr. Chairman, Ladies
and Gentlemen—The tremendous social revolu
tion which has just been brought upon us con
trary to our will, is bnt the harbinger of a more
sweeping and momentous industrial revolution
npon which we have just entered. Let ns meet
it with a full consciousness of all its stupendous
consequences npon ourselves and onr children.
Let ns open onr eyes to the fntnre and try in
part to close them against the past. Let ns
learn to contemplate and to anticipate the time,
fast approaching, when Georgia will be, not on
ly the Empire State of the Sonth, but the Em
pire State of the Union.
After the speechmaking, a deputation from
the city of Chattanooga, consisting of Tomlin
son Fort, R. S. Keadrick, editor of the Repub
lican, J. S. Wiltse and C. J. Woodbury, Educa
tional correspondent of the Constitution, were
introduced to the press fraternity and tendered
the hospitality of the city.
The mineral specimens submitted by the
Cartersville committee were very numerous and
surprising. There were numerous samples of
slate, and several of a beauiful solid maroon
color, veined with black. This slate, when
quarried, is so soft as to be easily sawn or
planed, but hardens by exposure to nearly the
hardness of a flint. It was beautifully polished,
and as lustrous as Parian marble. As an en
tirely new and beautiful material for the con-
Company of London.

To Ihr Kilitors of the Jfiieon Telegraph :
In proceeding to a description of those diseases
most frequent and fatal in their effects npon the
health and strength of tho Longs, and, therefore,
the most fruitful sources of Consumption, I com
mence with Xasal Catarrh. In consequence of the
almost fatal apathy of the profession, this diseaso
has been tho remote cause of consignment to an
untimely grave of more victims than Asiatic Chol
era ; for it performs as certainly, though more tard
ily, after years of mental anguish and physical
Buffering, what choleba accomplishes in a few
lioura.
Bo long as the people remain ignorant of the
causes which produce Coxsrairnotr, and of tho
symptoms which mark its first stealthy and insid
ious approaches, we cannot hope that any timely
steps will bo adoptod for its pretention.
CoxsrsrPTiox have several stages ; it has a first,
or forming stage ; a second or confirmed stage;
and a third, or ulcerative stage. The lungs do not
become immediately stuffed with tubercles, or cor
roded with fonl ulcers, but only after months or
years of irritation, or slow insidious progress from
tlio slight catarrh to the seated bronchitis, charac
terized by & little hacking cough, slight pain in the
chest, occasional flushes, accelerated pulso, furred
tonguo and dyspepsia. Thenfrom bronchitis to the
first disposition of alittlo tubercular matter in a
single globule, with more or less aggravation of all
the previous symptoms, as tho deposits increase in
quantity, supplanting tho healthy structure of the
lungs, when softening or ulceration takes placo,
festering and burrowing among the dolicato air
cells, until tho whole of tho diseased lungs become
reduced to a hopeless mass of disorganization, and
that dread malady has reached its last and fatal
stage.
Tho error is too wido-spread among tho peoplo,
and too general even among physicians, to regard
Coxanrmos as a diseaso characterized not only by
rough, bnt Pnrulent Expectoration, Hectic Fever,
Night Sweats, Wasting of Flesh and Loss of
Strength ; in other words, to apply tho namo Cox-
uumox only to tho last stage of tho diseaso.—
Were it otherwise, wo shonld not have to listen with
feelings of pity and sorrow to snch expressions as
“it is only a Catarrh,” “tho diseaso is all in the
throat,” or “it is only a slight bronchial affection.”
Alas, how few realizo tho fact that theso diseases,
unimportant as they aro generally looked npon, and
Coxsraipnos, aro all links in tho samo chain, and
that there aro few who suffer from theso affections
who do not sooner or later fill a consumptive’s
gravo.
Chronic Nabai. Catarrh is generally tho result
of noglectod and frequently repeated attacks of tho
acuto variety of this diseaso (which become practi
cally known to most of us soveral times a year in
tho shapo of a “cold in tho head.”)
After a long or shorter timq the liabilities to at
tacks of Acute Catarrh become increased, and tho
patient finds, after it lias passed off, thero remains
a discharge of yollow Mucus. This is Chronic
Catarrh in its most usual form. On examining tho
nostrils with a speculum, or instrument specially
adapted to that purpose, wo find its lining mem
brane more or less thickened—rodder than in
health, and often ulcerated. In tho simplest form
wo havo merely an acenmnluation of yellow
or straw-colorod mucus in tho Posterior Fares
abovo and behind tho palate, which the patient
“ kawkB” ont from time to timo daring tho day. As
tho diseaso advances, little points of ulcoration ap
pear in tho mneons membrane, npon which tho so
cretion becomes hardoned, forming crusts, requir
ing almost constant “ picking" to keep it free; and
as these inspissated masses of mnena aro tom from
tho diseased surface of tho nose, they become irri
tated and frequently blood profusely.
OZJBITA
Is only an advanced stago of Chronic Catarrh
when tho ulceration of tho mneons membrano has
become extensive and tho hones of tho nose in
volved in tho diseaso. Tho discliai-ges in this caso
aro purulent, or of a yellowish or greenish color,
frequently tinged with blood, with an odor generally
more or less disagreeable, or intolerably offensive.
In tho language of Dr. G. B. Wood, of Philadelphia,
“This form of diseaso is ono of tho most obetinato
and disagreeable affections which tho physician has
to encounter. In some instances tho breath of the
patient is so revoltingly offensive as almost to iso
late 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 the 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.
