“Have You Sold Your Cotton ?”
This was the inquiry addressed yesterday by
one good old farmer to another as they passed,
each perched npon his cotton wagon which had
brought in a few bales of the early trophies of
the crop. It will bo the question of the day for
six months hence. '' Have you sold your cot
ton?' It suggests in advance a multitude of
ideas. What is to be done for cotton ? Where
will prices rise to ? This terrible failure of the
cotton crop is a bad thing for the world as well
as for ourselves.
Two mouths ago wo were in high hope that the
South, this year, would turn out nearly three
millions of bales. That amount would have
brought us high prices—kept the looms and
spindles busy—strengthened onr position aH cot
ton growers—quickened the movements of trade
—fortified the financial situation. But instead
of this wo shall have, in our best judgment, a
a far shorter crop than last year. The factors
tell ns we sro a million of bales short already—
and here is another large addition to the deficit.
Prices must advance—tnillH work on short time
—goods go up—consumption be checked consid
erably.' This is unfortunate all round; for the
rise in price which will result from scarcity will
be no adequate compensation to the producer,
for the general depressing results of the crop
failure.
In regard to the policy of selling in the face
of such pregnant facts as we have alluded to, we
do not mean to offer advice or suggestion.—
Each producer mn*t be governed byhia own
ideas. The price is now high and has already
reached apoint which seriously checks consump
tion. Still, wo think it mnatrise higher; bnt
onr opinion is not worth much. Against the
probabilities of a farther material rise, the
planter should olTsot the loss in weight, interest,
expenses, insnrance and the posibilities that
by a combination resulting from tho extremities
of the altnalloft, prices may even be sent down.
It is a serions question. We are profoundly
disappointed by tho emergency; but let ns pick
onr fliuts and try it again. We niA confident a
glorious futnre is before the cotton grower.—
We feel fiiire his is going to be the most profit
able agriculture under the «nn. We think that
wealth and comfort await our people, nnd the
hand of energy, skill and resolution will soon
make Georgia one of the niost prosperous com
munities on tho globe. So mote it be.
The
‘lYiirltiiigiiicu's Parly” — The
West and the loath.
Tho Massachusetts Radicals complain that
their party operations are likely to be ranch em
barrassed by secret organizations of working
men. Among these organizations are numer
ous Lodges of the "Sons of St. Crispin.’’—shoe
makers—who alone will oontrol fifty thousand
votes in that State; If these working men of
all orafts in Now England—shoemakers, machi
nists, carpenters, shipwrights, mannfactnrers of
clothing, household wares, eta, etc., and opera
tors in mills and factories, shall consolidate in
their political action, they will carry a large ma
jority of the popular veto in that section and
can do what they please. They will make live
ly work among the politicians and perhaps
shelve, ns they say in that country, “the hull
biling of ’em.”
If that ever gets to be the case, we in Geor
gia will have no tears over their unhappy fate.
New England Radicalism will then take a new
development and will discloso itself in falmina-
tions over tho tyranny of capital, nnd the rights
of the “toiling masses" to the lion's share of
the proceeds of labor. We shall have fierce in
vectives against monopolists of money and land,
and the declarations made in the late Philadel
phia Workingmcu’s Convention that the men
whose labor create the values should toko their
pick of them, and remit only what is left to tho
men who sit by in kid gloves nod boss the job.
These are tho now “God and humanity" ideas
which will probably henceforth come from New
England, and they aro ideas fraught with terror
to tho men who have drugged onr political sys
tem with their “ manhood suffrage.” Lot them
shako in their boots nnd stand from under.
Westward of New England, whero tho mass of
“ working men” aro proprietors of their own
little glebes, and who combino in each person
the “ dignity of labor” and the dignity of capi
tal—this so-called workingmen’s movement can
not travel with much freedom or promise. Each
man of tho great mass is an inevitable conserva
tive, since he embodies tho interests of both
capital and labor. Here is a grand bulwark
against Jacobinism and Agrarianism. Tho time
is fast approaching when the West and the
South—great agricultural regions both—will be
in firm nlliance and together give liberality,
steadiness, consistency, and common sense to
- the councils of the country. Let it come.
himself in tho midst of interesting and some
what exciting scenes.
This is the first day of the new collegiate year
and all parties are earnestly engaged in con
ducting examinations, arranging classes and
adjusting other important matters of tho insti
tution.
I have spent the morning in the several rooms
where the applicants were examined and have
been highly gratified with the results. I was
particularly interested in, and profoundly de
lighted with the examination of four young gen
tlemen of Macon who have entered the sopho
more class, namely: Henry Strohecker, A. P.
Whittle, James T. Wills and A. XL Williams.
These youthful candidates acquitted themselves
with credit and have commenced their college
career under the most favorable auspices. Mr.
Scloter, perhaps, prepared all of them for the
University, and deserves much praise for the
thoroughness of the preparation ho gave them.
There are other students here from your city
who are highly esteemed for their scholarship
and good deportment. Their names are, Dessau,
j Hardeman, Hill, Huguenin and Solomon. Ma
con ought to feel proud of these promising sons
and constant prayer ought to be offered for the
preservation of their lives and for their success
intellectual and moral culture.
There are some interesting facts and features
of our State University which should be better
nown than they are at present to the people of
oar good old Commonwealth.
Tho first I call attention to, is the University
High School, with capacity to accommodate one
hundred pupils. This School is supplied with
a President nnd three Professors, and boys and
youth aro trained for tho sophomore class, in
Latin nnd Greek, German and French, all the
English studies, including Belles Lettres and
Oratory, Mathematics and Science. Here is a
home for boys who have lost their mother or
their father, or are parentless orphans—a Chris
tian borne, the like of which con nowhere be
found in the Stato. Its valae cannot be too
strongly presented to the public. Presided over
by President Hunter and his accomplished lady,
all th« elegance of refinement and culture is
there enjoyed, and that at most moderate prices.
The ability and learning of the Faculty of the
University are extraordinary. With a chancel
lor unrivaled for his eloquence, taste and large
ness of heart, distinguished in the literary world
os a writer and critic, with a corps of professors
earnest, devoted, zealous and mauly, tho young
men of the South can nowheTC find superior ad
vantages, and it ia gratifying to Icam that npon
the very first day of tho new term more than
fifty additions have been made to the numbers
already in the several clasMK'
Tho modern Languages are now taught hero
with a success and system heretofore unknown.
Two years devoted to a modem langnage is con
sidered sufficient time to acquire it as far as is
necessary for the ordinary purposes of educated
gentlemen.
Another featuro here is the school of civil en
gineering, over which Prof. Charbonnier pre
sides, and it is a pleasant fact to learn that all
tho graduates of this school are now actively en-
Tnc work on tha M icon and Bnxnswiok Rail
road is progressing rapidly, nnd both cities will
bo soon connected by the iron track. We hear
that many of onr citizens contemplate a removal
to Brunswick, hoping to advance their prospects
in life by settling in a quite young community.
Though we are sorry to lose them, we wish them
every possible success. May fortune reward
their toils !
The Brunswickians aro very sanguine, and
with their mind’s eyes already see the flags of
nit nations proudly floating in the morning
breeze.
MrrROpor.iTAN' Works, Richito.vd, Va.—The
card of this company again appears in our col
umn-—Wm. E. Tanner & Co., is the present
style of the firm. Mr. II. R. Brown is the Agent
in Ma con. We learn that they have sold quite
a number of engines in this State, nnd their
work gives great satisfaction. They will exhib
it some of their manufactures at the coming
State Fair, we are informed, and will notice
them more at length when we see for ourselves.
University of Georgia.—Our Athens letter
to-day is valuable, and discloses very interesting
facts in regard to the condition and prospects
of the University. We are glad to learn that it
is entering upon a career of extraordinary pros
perity and usefulness.
YIuroeb in Covington.—It appears from a
proclamation by the Governor, that Joseph
Barber, Marshal of Covington, while engaged
in the performance of official duty, was mur
dered last Tuesday night by Jim Brown, a freed-
gaged in their profession with salarios altogeth
er respectable, and I make this statement hop
ing that many of onr young men will at once
avail thomselves of this excellent opportunity
of preparing for this important avocation in
life.
There is one more feature hero that I beg to
notice, namely: tho Department of tho Law.
By oonstant nnd daily effort, with no vacation,
.aconrse of legal studies is gone through in
twelve months, embraced in one year; Whereas,
sixteen months, embraced in two years, are
nsnally spent in the same coarse; and thus a
year's expense is saved—a great matter in theso
ihiys of destitution and poverty. At the end of
the coarse, the degree of Bachelor of Law ia
oonferred upon tbs graduates of this Depart
ment, and a diploma awarded which entitles tho
graduate to a licenso to practice law in the
Superior Coarts of tho State without an examin
ation in open court.
I farther learn that the Trustees have wisely
established a second degree for the legal profes
sion, entitled Doctor of Jurisprudence, to bo
conferred npon graduates of' tho Law Depart
ment after seven years’ successful practico and
the maintenance of a good moral character, and
npon other men of eminence in the profession.
This is a good move in the right direction, and
I hope to see this a very flourishing school and
filled with our ablest nnd best students from all
our colleges. Tho students of the Law School
are permitted, without the payment of fees, to
study the modern languages and attend the
course of belles-lettres and oratory, provided
they are graduates of the University or have
spent two years mere. This department is
adorned by tho distinguished names of Hon. B.
H. Hill, and W: L Mitchell, Esq. These two
professors are confessedly masters of the law
and men of brilliant reputation in the South.
Part of the object of my visit to this place
has been to consult Professor Broun in relation
to the great eontv! which has for some time
excited much attention. This ripe scholar and
distinguished astronomer says that no comet is
due at the present time—that no scientific man
on the continent has discovered the approach
of any one during this year; and that, there
fore, the numerous newspaper reports on this
subject are to be regarded as purely apooryphal
and sensational.
The Professor i3 also clear in his opinion that
if a collision should ever occur between a comet
and the earth, no serious consequences could
follow, owing to the exceedingly attenuated na
ture of all cotuetary bodies. Sir John Herschel
gives it as his opinion that nome of them prob
ably do not weigh more than two ounces avoir-
do/Mis.
Athens is universally regarded as one of the
most moral and religions localities in the land.
We have been credibly informed that there is
not a public gambling saloon in the place, and
that a considerable fine is attached to tho selling
of tho smallest quantity of spirituous liquors to
any college student or minor. The high stand
ard of morality and religion which exists here
throws new charms and attractions around the
University of Georgia, and should serve to in
spire the hearts of all anxious patents with the
full confidence that their sons, who are climbing
the hill of Parnassus at this point, are sur
rounded by tho most favorable influences for
intellectual and spiritual development.
New Crop Receipts.
The rapidity with which rust and dry weather
are hastening the maturity of the cotton crop
may be seen from the following figures. Last
year there were received in Macon of new cot
ton, up to the night of September 2d, bales
This year to same date, bales.... 849
Difference 787
Seven hundred and eighty-seven bales differ
ence in eighteen days from the opening of the
season. This is remarkable, and indicates how
rapidly this crop will be swept off. We expect
the bulk of it will be gathered by the middle of
October, and, if prices keep up, it will be sold
and cleared off before Christmas.
The Press Exrnraloa Party—Return
to Atlanta—Last Day’s Proceedings.
[The Atlanta Intelligencer of yesterday gives
the following report of the speeches omitted in
the Constitution’s report:]
The excursionists having arrived in town im
mediately after the regular passenger train,
about midday, proceeded to the dining-room of
the National Hotel, where they were served by
the Messrs. Pond with a very handsome dinner,
to which ample justice was done. Upon the re
moval of the cloth, Col. Hnlbert rose and said :
Gentlemen : For about the first time in the
history of Georgia, the Press of the State has
been gathered together to consult upon the in
terests and resources of onr State, and to give
the result of their examination to the people ;
to present the evidences of the abundant wealth
of Georgia and of its sister States in a presenta
ble manner, as the Press know how to do. You
have observed for yourselves the facilities with
which our coal and iron deposits may be devel
oped, the great extent in which these deposits
exist, and the great value which they possess for
the people of Georgia, when properly developed.
We have put our shoulders to the wheel and
it now depends upon you, after the observations
of the last week, to inform our people as to the
extent of our resources, and to arouse them to
tho importance of the subject.
I wiU not now detain you, gentlemen, as you
are all upon tho eve of returning to your homes,
but will proceed at once to offer you “the Press
of Georgia,” and hope that it will sustain all ef
forts properly made to develop the interests of
the Empire State of the South.
Mr. Clisby, President of the Pres3 Associa
tion, being called upon, responded as follows :
Gentlemen: Speech-making upon any occa
sion ill befits me ; but upon this occasion, I feel
that something is dae to the gentlemen who have
been kind enongh tp organize the excursion for
the benefit of the Press of Georgia.
I congratulate you, gentlemen, upon tho ex
perience of the last eight days. We have met
together as brethren. We have interchanged
all the courtesies of life ; harmony and urbanity
have marked all our intercourse during the short
period for which wo have been thrown together.
Onr Governor, in compliment to ns, has, as it
were, beocme one of ourselves. At very great
personal inconvenience he has accompanied us
on onr trip. When he started he remarked to
me that ho knew not how long he could continue
with us, but that he was reluctant to leave us as
long as he could contribute to the enjoyment of
the occasion. Our intercourse during that time
has been of the most agreeable character. It
has been characterized, as you all know, by the
greatest possible liberality upon the part of
those responsible; and, the greatest possible deli
cacy and care have been observed that every
one, while enjoying himself to the utmost, should
have full opportunity of observing the natnral
advantages of onr State and the great resources
of our people.
Permit me, then gentlemen, to tender in your
name and. in my own, onr thanks to Governor
Bollock and Colonel Halbert for the excellent
entertainment which they have afforded ns in
the trip of the last eight days. We are now
about to part. It is hard to say “good-bye,"
bnt in the time which we have spent together I
have learned to know that when in the coarse
of my editorial dnties I meet with your articles,
I shall know just about how yon looked and felt
when yon wrote them; and it will always bo a
pleasure to me to remember that I formed your
acquaintance under such very auspicious cir
cumstances. It will enable 03 tho better to ap
preciate our differences of .politics or of opin
ions, and the better to respect each other’s can
dor.
Wo are all of ns about to go to our respective
homes, and I trust that we shall have learned
to turn our attention to the blessings which
God Almighty has bestowed npon ns, and to
advocate, os best we may, the development of
the resources of onr great Stato. We have
learned that theso resources, of which we have
heard so much, are not mere empty sounds,
but that they lie actually within oar reach and
are capable of tho highest development. Our
friend, CoL Halbert, did not exaggerate when
he informed us that these resonrees were great.
You have all become convinced of that.
Now a word about the Press. Onr good friend,
the politician, occasionally speaks to a thousand
or two of men; and onr other friend the preach
er, also, addresses weekly a few thousands of
hearers; bnt thero are gentlemen of the Press
present who address twenty thousand men every
day of their lives—with all the intellectual and
moral power at their command. I trust, gen
tlemen, that there is not one of ns who will ever
fur-;-that wf bavea grand duty which we owe
to onr God and our country out-weighing all
other considerations; and that in the pnrcmt of
the happiness of onr people we have material
sufficient to use without appealing to popular
animosities, passions and prejudices. Let os
all strivo to harmonize; let ns endeavor rather
to build up and develop the great resources of
onr noble Stato than to injuro them by conten
tion or to pull them down by useless contro
versy.
I have only now to express tho hope that when
yon arrive at your homes you may find yonr
families prosperous and happy. Permit me
then, gentlemen, to bid yon Ml a most affec
tionate adieu.
