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. A facetious local editor of a Wilmington pa per explains tho invisibility of the great comet ns follows: A star of unusual lustre and magnitude can bo seen in the eastern heavens any fine mid night The expected comet having been de tained by business engagements elsewhere, this star has been sent out to entertain the audience until the chief star of the spectacle can arrive.

Gaines eillc Air Line Eayle, 29t7i. 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 had moderate rains the past week, and the crops are ooming out some.—Americas Courier, 30th. New York, August 2S.~Colonel S. Rya n an d Carrier, leaders of the late Cuban expedition, have been held to bail by having returned here from Canada.

The right to use the fence surrounding the new post-office site was leased to-day at $15,000 for advertising purposes. 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. cholera The semi-monthly Diarro, prepared for the Span ish steamer, editorially regrets ita inability to send flattering notices regarding tho suppression of the insurrection.

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. Foreign Hews. London,August 31.—The reported conspiracy and executions on the Sabine aro a canard.

PARTICULARS OF THE DISASTER—SUFFERINGS OF 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. aentl-ltr Horses and Mules for Sale.

The Late Eclipse—An Old Negro and His Chickens* 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!

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. Mbs. A. E. Heart, No. 58 Felicity street. FROM C1PT. J. C. SHIPLEY, General Agent, G. M, Ii. I. Co., No. 17 Ca- rondelet street, New Orleans, La. 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.
