California Cotton - .—Tho editor of the Char
leston Now-t has been shown specimen of tho
cotton plant grown from seed received from the
south i!'. part of California, by a planter near
Selma, Alabama, from whence this specimen
came. This authority states that this descrip
tion has most valuable qualities, among which
nro great productiveness, say two and a half to
three bales to the acre, and a maturity some
two to three weeks earlier than ordinary cotton.

Weatheb and Crops.—We are still having
dry hot weather in these parts, and vegetation
suffers terribly. The cotton has been at a
stand-still for some time, and even with the best
of seasons from this on. the crop will be small.
The late corn can do but little; the forward
crop-—planted early—has turned out pretty well,
and if a larger area had been devoted to it. it
would have saved some of the evils to which
we are to be subjected by the short crop
of the West. The prospect for rain has been
favorable for some days.
The counties between here and Macon have

thirty feet fall overy mile for thirty miles. Here
is land which will produce forty bushels of com
or a bale of cotton to the acre, and on either
side of yon a range of hills teeming with miner
al wealth.
Captain Barney, Superintendent of this Road,
tells me he has had many years’ experience in
railroad construction in the Northern and
Southern States, in the mineral regions of both.
He says there is moro mineral wealth out-crop-
ping the earth in four counties on the lino of
this road than can bo found in any four North
ern States which can bo named. Part of tho
way tho road is oxcavated through iron depos-
ites, and embankments are made with the rich
est ore. For over one hundred and sixty miles
at short distances on either side of the lino
are inexhaustible supplies of iron ore of many
varieties, including red, brown, yellow and
gray hematito, of great richness. Here, too,
are all the varieties of marble, from the black
Egyptian to white statuary. Copper and load
are found within a few miles of tho line, and
thero aro even fair gold diggings.
Tho soil of this valley rominds mo of that of
(he celebrated Sweet Wafer valley—a beautiful
Ghoccolato color, and yon can judge of its fer
tility wh»n I tell you that with all the leaves
parched and shrivelled—tho vitality of tho stalk
apparently gono, thero aro still many heavy ears
upon it, nnd it will make twenty to thirty bush
els to tho aero, in my opinion.
We have juststoppod at Cave Spring—a bean-
tifnl village npon a level plain, in great part
shaded by grand oak3 and crossed by littlo sil
very streams. It nestles cosily beneath a range
of lofty hills, crowned with magnificent forest
trees. At tho foot of ono of these the spring
bursts boldly from the mountain side in suffi
cient volume to drive a cotton factor/ and mako
a splendid littlo creek, which runs merrily over
beds of pebbles dancing and sparkling in tho
bright sunshine. It must be a fairy scene hero
by tho bright moonlight, and I am not yet too
old to sport with one of theso Georgia fairies in
such a place upon occasion.
About fifty feet just abovo this Tcmarkable
spring there are two entrances to the cave,
craggy nnd mossy, abont eight feet wido. I
peeped into ono, down a dark abyss to which tho
sound of falling water gave a considerable
depth. Some of onr party explored tho other
entrance, with candles, to the depth of about
300 yards, but I walked on to look at tho Stato
Deaf nnd Damb Institute, under tho charge of
Mr. W. O. Connor. It has been vacation since
30th Juno, when tho Institution dosed with
fifty-eight pnpils. Tho site of this Institution is
beautiful, but the buildings are not so well
planned as they might havo been. I hope the
Legislature will sostrin it.
A few miles below Cave Spring is tho point in
Polk county, near Tryor’s Station, from which
sundry specimens of iron ore wero sent the
Telegraph a few days ago by your correspond
ent It. Here is a wonder of wonders. Acres
covered with chunks of black hematite ore,
many of which are eighty to ninety per cent,
fine iron. On the other side of the road is a
solid mountain of ore of extraordinary richness.
This is in Polk county, and Polk, I am told, is
the richest tract of mineral country—perhaps
on the face of the whole earth. Some where
abont this point on the line of the Selma, Romo
nnd Dalton Road, it is proposed that the Carters-
ville and Van Wert Railroad shall strike. The
distance I think, is about forty miles through a
country teeming with tho mineral wealth de
scribed by CoL Mark A. Cooper, in his Carters-
rilio speech—igneous iron ore of all varieties-
marble of all varieties—slate of all varieties and
some of them of extraordinary beauty—sand
stone—plumbago — copper — gold and many
other mineral products too numerous to men
tion. No man will believe tho wonders of this
country unless ho sees them, and yon may say
this party has yot seen comparatively nothing.
It would tako months of careful exploration.
Here, over the regions through which we
have hurried by rail, is two year’s work for a
thorough geologist, who should bo employed by
the State at once to begin elaborate surveys,
maps and reports, so that the world may know
the value of Georgia, and Georgians themselves
may know the value of the rich heritage God
has given them. I trust the Governor will earn
estly impress on the next Legislature the im
portance of beginning an authorized survey at
once. Bat we have just now passed into the
jurisdiction of Alabama and crossed Hurricane
Creek. I will therefore drop Georgia sugges
tions and conclude.

Use of Cotton Goods iu China.
Several of this year’s reports from British
Consuls iu China notice an increase in the im
port of cotton manufactures from the United
Kingdom in 1SG8, and state that there is a gra
dually increasing use of foreign material for
clothing in various parts of China. They men
tion some curious facts respecting Chinese
habits in the matter of clothing. At the North
erly Port of Newchwang the people -will slip
one pair of cotton Summer trowsers inside
another, and wodding them with a pound or
so of cotton grown in their own fields make
a warm, useful garment for the "Winter, to
be again resolved into two as the warm
weather returns. In the South, at Foo-chow-
foo, a high mandarin told the Consul that
people of his class change their linen only
once in ten or twelve days. He was rather
cleaner than the ordinary run of manda
rins, many of whom seldom change their under
clothing more than once perhaps in the winter,
and not more than once every three weeks in the
summer. The same Consol says that the Chi
nese do not use sheets for their bedding, but
cover themselves with thickly wadded counter
panes, made of silk or nankeen cotton cloth.
The Consul at Swato notices an increasing de
mand for textile fabrics, and believes it will go
on. At present, however, he says the country
people follow their agricultural pursuits, and
carry on their clan fights in the state of Adam
before the fall, merely donning their short
trowsers and scanty jackets on their return to
their homes. A clothed husbandman, however,
is becoming a more common sight than in past
years.

THE PASSENGERS—TIIEIR HAPPY RELEASE.
Prom the Poston Pott, Angnst 27/h J
The fine steamship Germania, Captain Kier,
from New York, August 3, for Hamburg, be
fore reported wrecked, had on board several
well-known Boston parties as passengers. Let
ters from them received in this city yesterday,
(Thursday, August 26,) state that the steamer
had a pleasant run from New York until Satur
day, 5:30 a. M., August 7, when she ran ashore
during a thick fog, in Fresh Water Cove, about
six or seven miles distant from Cape Race. She
went on at tho foot of a bluff of rocks, sup
posed to be from 150 to 200 feet high, and ap
parently (as seen from the wrecked steamer)
almost perpendicular. The rock-bound shore
was seen a few seconds before the steamer
struck, and the engines wero immediately re
versed, bnt headway could not bo stopped in
season to prevent tho disaster.
She did not strike very heavily at first, how
ever, which fact is proved by another, viz: that
many of the passengers (including ladies) were
not aroused from their morning slumbers.
Those who were up and dressed rushed below,
and spread the unpleasant intelligence, so that
all on board were soon on deck, quite ft .num
ber in their night habiliments, but excellent or
der prevailed. The steamer was soon backed
off, but whilo this was being accomplished, she
seemed to swing around to her port side, and
upon a sharp rock—and,when the sea lifted her,
she came down with ft heavy crash, terrifying,
of course, all unaccustomed to such scenes. A
large holo was stove in the steamer’s bottom,
when she commenced to sink qnite rapidly.
The officers remained perfectly cool, and, fully
realizing the situation, attempted to run her in
shore again, but did not succeed in getting in
so near the bluffs as when she first struck.
The boats were got out without delay, as the
steamer struck about 5:80 o’clock, and about six
some of the passengers wero leaving in the
boats, one of which, containing the Boston
passengers and others (twenty-three in number)
was steered for a time in a westerly direction—
a compass having been saved, together with a
bottle or two of water and a small quantity of
bread. It was proposed by one “to steer for
New York.” The absurdity of this idea was ap
parent to the majority, who ruled. Their suf
ferings wero great for hours, as they were ex
posed, half-clad, to heavy fogs and rain, from
6 a. ai until 2 p. m., when they succeeded in ef
fecting a landing through the breakers, which
were heard distinctly roaring all the time, and
fonnd themselves in Biscay Bay, some nme
miles from where the steamer sunk. The lady
passengers were very sea-sick on board the little
life-boat, and were naturally very weak on get
ting ashore. A fire was built upon tho beach,
all expecting to remain thero through tho te
dious hours of the coming night; but fortune
smiled upon them, and two small houses were !
soon discovered, whoso inmates kindly rendered
what assistance they could, in getting the suffer
ers food and diy clothing.
On Tuesday morning the party walked over
a very rough road or path, a distance of about
four miles, to Trepassy Bay, where they were
welcomed on board a French frigate, and ar
rived at St. Johns, Newfoundland, the same
evening at 8 o'clock. They lost their baggage.
Steamer Ciinbria has since taken all hands to
Europe, as before stated. The rescued passen
gers seem to think the terrors of a lee shore
hard to describe, particularly when the fog is
dense and the rocky cliffs are almost directly
overhead. Those who are not gifted with fer
tile imagination seldom if ever do justice to a
situation like that alluded to.

The Late Eclipse—An Old Negro and

From the Utica Observer, August 24.]
Ur. Peters, the eminent astronomer connect
ed with Hamilton College, went West to observe
the late eclipse of the snn. While there an
amusing incident occurred which is told by a
gentleman present at the time, who says that
the effect of the eclipse upon the animal crea
tion has been exaggerated. Horses or cattle
paid little or no attention. Creatures that are
accustomed to go to some particular place at
dark did start for their places, and undoubtedly
in some dismay. Birds were apparently aston
ished by being suddenly caught out late, and
must have fancied that they had absent minded-
ly neglected to notice sunset. They flew rapid
ly. An old rooster took to the fence and folded
himself up, but in two minutes and fifty-two
seconds he crowed lustily. It was a very short
night to him.
Saturday morning Dr. Peters requested an
old negro living near his observatory, to watch
carefully his big flock of hens, for at 4:45 they
would go to roost. After the eclipse was over,
he came, evidently much excited. “ How was
it?” said the doctor. “Beats do debbil,” said
the negro. “When de darkness come ebry
chicken run for de hole in de bam. De fust
ones got in, and de next ones ran ober one anud-
der, and the last ones dey just squat right down
in de grass. How long you know dis ting was a
cornin’ ?” 44 Oh, I reckon we knew it more than
a year,” said the doctor. “ Beats de debbil!
Here you away in New York knowd a year ago
what my chickens was gwine to do dis bery af
ternoon, an' you nebber see de chickens before
nudder!”

Successful Treatment of Consump
tion by Medicated Xohalation.
A COMPLIMENTARY CARD TO DR. HUNTER PROM A
RESIDENT OF NEW ORLEANS.
I consider it a duty I owe to the many in this
community who are suffering from that dread
ful scourge, consumption, to make this state
ment of the extraordinary results of Dr. Hunter’s
treatment of my neice, who was suffering from
all tho distressing symptoms of advnnced dis-
easo of the lungs, when I placed her under his
care last June. The cough, hcctio fever, night
sweats and bleeding from tho ltings have en
tirely subsided, and she has increased much in
weight, and acquired an appearance of health
she has not worn for years before.
Having experienced such happy results from
a method of treatment which I consider has,
through the blessing of God, preserved her
from the brink of the grave, I cheerfully recom
mend it to the suffering, believing it is the only
means by which diseases of the lungs can be
successfully treated.

SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF ASTHMA.
I cheerfully add my testimony to that of those
who have publicly expressed their high appreci
ation of Dr. Hunter's skill and gratitude for the
benefit they received from his treatment.
During the late war I made tho acquaintance
of two gentlemen who had heed radically cured
of Asthma by hi3 treatment, and was induced
thereby to place myself under his care. Dur
ing my attendance at his office I met many of
his patients, who spoke in the highest terms of
his skill and success, and can folly endorse the
card published by Mrs. Heart, a few days since
in regard to the truly extraordinary results of
his treatment of her neice, who was apparently
far advanced in Consumption. I believe these
facts should be known where there are so many
suffering from these dreadful diseases, and in
subscribing to them I believe I am rendering a
just tribute to a physician whose qualifications
render him worthy the confidence of those who
are suffering from diseases of the lungs, and
confidently advise all such to submit themselves
to his treatment.
