Editors Telegraph : Your correspondent has Crops in Stewart—Address to the Colored Peo- reached this great literary center, and finds pie—From Pike county—Meeting in Hartwell. “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.
