Foreign Cotton Prodnction.
London, September 3.—A correspondent in
to-day's Times, speaking of the calamity in the
cotton trade, says it was owing to the increase
of consuming power at a time when the raw ma
terial was decreasing. He argnes that it would
be folly in the American planters to grow five
million bales of cotton at a double expense of
land and lal>or, when the same profit will be re
alized from hnjf that amount. He is certain a
well arranged trial must convince the spinner
of the benefit of co-operating in growing.
The foregoing from onr telegrams yesterday,
no doubt attracted the attention of the reader.
The manufactures of Great Britain are threaten
ed with a dead lock. In the face of a growing
demand for raw cotton the supply is diminish
ing from year to year. The glorious results of
“heaven ordained free labor” which were going
to swell the cotton product of the South and fill
all abolitionism with great joy and trinmph,
have not come. The emancipation of the slaves
has cut down production one half. All the fine
spun and gold threaded theories of the devotees
of African eqnality shrivel and break in the
face of this great potential fact, that the negro
will not work for himself as he did for his mas
ter—that the word which remitted him to his
own volition cut down the productive power of
the South fifty per cent'
What next? India and Egypt liavo been
horribly victimized to make up this deficit. Wo
have an illustration of the character of modern
philanthopy in the fact stated upon English au
thority that over thirteen hundred thousand
Hindoos and three hundred thousand Egyptians
have perished of starvation, consequent upon
the forced cultivation of cotton instead of
bread! The English and American journals
have sung pecans by the year over the emanci
pation of the Sonthem slave, but wo have never
heard the first wail for Hindoo and Egyptian
peasants sacrificed to the Moloch of the cotton
mills.
For a time these bloody experiments have re
laxed, in the hope that American cotton supplies
will increase rapidly; but it seems that they are
now abandoning that hope, and the topie of the
day is ft renewed energy In extorting cotton
from the reluctant soil of India. The Times,
nrgning that it will bo folly in tho American
planter to increase his crop and diminish prices,
insists on co-operation among tho cotton manu
facturers in ootton producing. Why not co
operate in tho Southern 'States instead of tho
ill-adapted colonial possessions of Great Brit
tain? Let them come here with their laborers
and swell tho crop of merchantable cotton.
Thoj> will not bo a whit raoro anxious to make
ns much cotton as they can than Is every plan-
tor in tho potton-growing regions. It is absurd
to suppose that the body of tho planters are or
can bo controlled by any ideas of restricting the
c/op product. Evory man makes as much as he
con, and though (in tho hope of a better price)
ho may desire that the aggregate product shall
bo small, yet every man docs his best to make
it as Inrgo ns possible.
Hull Oil' (lie Track I
Oar Foreman cotncn to ns fyrenihless, with tho
announcement that Huff’s Express Provision
Train has run off tho track. This frightful
catastrophe happened at Imposing Stone Moun
tain, whero tho engine, at full speed, run into
an embankment, and brought the train up with
such a tremendous concussion that all the cars
woro telescoped. Fortunately no lives were
lost; but a scone of destruction was presented
heart-rending to behold. Car loads of corn,
oats, bacon, meal, sugar, flour, syrup, pork,
molasses, coffee, ryo and vinegar wero crushed
together, and fairly kneaded into one indiscrim
inate and gigantic mass, making a hatch for a
thousand Killarney giants, if now and then a
few thousand bundles of iron ties did not choke
them in tho process of deglutition. Tho hogs
and cattle for many miles round the country
rushed to tho rich banquet; but no doubt they
would liavo enjoyed it better but for tho pres
ence of a few thousand sacks of salt which were
mixed up in tho great mass and made it a little
too saline for their taste.
Wo are glad, however, to say that tho acci
dent involves Mr. Huff in no loss. He is fully
Insured, and tho printer has agreed to pay all
damages. Nor does it sensibly affect his stock
of supplies, which is so large that one train
load is not missed.
Agricultnral Periodicals.
The Southern Cultivator for September, is
out, and embraces on its ample pages many valua
ble papers. Dr. Pendleton lias an avticle on popu
lar errors in relation to Fertilizers. Mr. Pea
body discourses on tho Oat crop of the South.
Dr. Lee writes npon Lawns and Woodland Pas
tures. There are two papers upon Nut Grass,
several upon immigration, and many other in
teresting subjects.
Tiie Rural Southerner treats upon Manures
and their Application—Agricultural Implements
—Tho Needle Cotton Gin, etc.
TnE American Farmer, Baltimore, writes of
Farm and Garden Work, Silk Culture, Coating
Seed with Manure, the Labor Question, Ploughs,
Improving Poor Land, and many other matters.
All this agricultural literatnro is as cheap as it
is valuable.
Complimentary to Dr. J. A. Hunter.
We have much pleasure in expressing our
high appreciation of Dr. J. A. Hunter s skill
and ability, as a physician in diseases of the
Head, Throat, Lungs and Heart, and consider
his methods of treating these diseases superior
to the means ordinarily-employed.
We speak from personal knowledge and ex
perience, and believe his efforts here will sup
ply a want long felt in this part of the country,
and recommend those who may require his ser
vices to give him a trial.

Casts.—Messrs. Fell & Martin,
TattCtUon, are illustrating how easy it is to do
a good business if a man has a heart to the
work. A man can can, if he cannot find any
thing else to do. They have been canning fruit
largely for several years, and having one of the
best fruit localities in the State they put up a
fine article, and find abundant markets ht home.
We are indebted to them for some samples of
their products.
m
The Fata re of Colnmbns.
A writer in one of the Columbus papers ex
presses some apprehensions about the future of
that city, which we think are quite groundless.
Columbus is bound to be a large and prosperous
town. Her water power alone settles that ques
tion. She has enough of it, if properly utilised,
to make her a second Lowell or Lawrence. But
supplementing this grand resource of wealth and
prosperity are the immense regions of fertile
soil tributary to her trade—her river navigation
and her splendid railway connections, present
and immediately prospective.
But one reasonable conclusion is susceptible
from these premises, and that is. that Colum
bus is bound to tak3 a rapid growth in manufac
turing and trade, and town property is ns neces
sarily compelled to a rapid appreciation in value.
This is the common opinion of outsiders and we
are confident it will provo a sound one.
Home capital alone would doubtless develop
her manufacturing facilities with some rapidity
and this is proved in the ready additions to
the capital stock of the Eagle and Phoenix Mills
made last spring. But we hold that the facili
ties presented' by 6Uch a place as Colnmbns for
cotton manufacturing will be sure to enlist large
amonnts of Northern capital. Manufacturers
are compelled to see the superior advantages of
a mild climate—cheaper labor—with the raw
material all around them, afforded by such a
place as Columbus, and gradually the entiro
business of manufacturing heavy coiton goods
will be transferred to thissection, and the North
ern mills will confine themselves to the produc
tion of finer and fancy fabrics, requiring more
skilled and cosily labor and less of the raw
material. Wo feel no solicitude about the
futnre of Columbus.
EMINENT TESTIMONY
IN FAVOR OF
DR. HUNTER’S TREATMENT
FOB DISEASES OF THE
A I.otter to Hon. Horace Greeley.
Macon’, Ga., September dtb, 18G9.
Mr. Greeley: At the celebration of tho one !
hundred and tenth natal day of the poet Borns, j
recently in tho city of New York, you aro re- j
ported to have made a speech, “Auld Lang I
-yne" being your theme. Yon are reported to j
havo said: “May wo not hope that the recollec- ,
tion of common efforts, sacrifices, perils, and
achievements in the remoter past will operate
to efface from tho minds of our late belligerents I
the bitterness engendered by our recent strife? I
that memories of ‘anld lang syne’ will lie suc
cessfully invoked to soften the exultations of !
tho victors, the chagrin of the vanquished ? and j
that aronnd the hallowed tomb of Mount Ver- :
non. which of late lias so often trembled to the
shock of battle and the roar of cannon, tho re
membrance of a common ancestry and of com
mon glories may awaken and invigorato the
sentiments of a common nationality ?'
These sentiments were appropriate to tho oc
casion and the times. I give them my poor in
dorsement. Being myself Scottish by descent, i
I greatly admire tho immortal Bard, and being |
also a native Georgian, I beg leave to say that j
you could not havo uttered words more cheering, ]
inoro grateful to onr people. They honor both
yonr head and heart. You are one of our con
querors, and, judged by tho above extract, a
magnanimous conqueror. Yon generously do-
sire that tho memories of tho past shall efface
the bitterness engendered by tho late strife;
you invoko tho soothing power of “anld lang
syno," to soften tho exultations of tho victors
and the chagrin of the vanquished, and aronnd
tho tomb of Washington you would gather the
Union, that, through tho remembrance of a com
mon ancestry and common glories, might be
awakened and invigorated tho sentiment of a I
common nationality.
Whnt is meant by these noble sentiments, ;
promulgated before an assemblage of tho elite, J
male and fftmale, of tho metropolis of the Amer
ican Union, and published to the world ? Yon,
sir, in this regard, aro to be judged in tho light
of yonr position and the actual condition of the
Sontb. Yon nro not a man to be flattered—yon
are a philosopher in tho best sense of that word.
Yonr Press is, pene, an Institution of the coun
try; yon think for tho million; yon are ono of
the most potent of those who form and control
public opinion at tho North. No ono is hotter
entitled to be recognized os a loader of tho Rad
ical party than yourself.
We aro obliged to believe—we do believe—
that yon intended to bo understood ns recom
mending the restoration of tho Southern States
under the Federal Constitution. That yon are
opposed to the threatened policy of reconstruct
ing reconstructed Georgia; and retaining our
great State, humiliated, impoverished and
wronged as sho is, beneath the heel of her re
morseless conquerors. Either yon meant all
this or nothing. Either yon meant all this, or
yon nro to be held as a double-dealing traitor to
the nobility of your own nature, ana to those
who confldo in yonr wisdom and yonr patriot
ism. For one, I am satisfied that, as a man and
a patriot, you intended to advise conciliation, i
forbearance, paternity and a consolidated Union j
—a prompt return to a common nationality nn- j
dor tho Constitution of the Fathors.
Theso sentiments wero uttered in the face of :
our actual condition. With yonr means of ac- 1
curate information it would be absnrd to sup- :
pose that you aro not correctly informed as to I
tho real status of Georgia. Notwithstanding .
the miserable sensational letters written" for po- j
lttical effoct at the North and for selfish purposes i
here, you aro obliged to know that we are not !
rebels still—that wo accept the situation—that I
we concede tho manumission of the negroes,
and are dealing jnstly with them—that we sub
ject all classes of tho community to an indis-
criminating obedience to the law—that we aro
rapidly developing the almost fabnlons resources
of onr glorious clime and onr teeming soil—
that wo aro inviting capital and immigration,
and organizing and diversifying labor—that we
havo even now succeeded in a great degree in
qnieting the passions engendered by the war.
Mr. Greeley, you are obliged to know, that
onr interests, onr honor, and even our sorrows,
constrain us to desire most anxiously to be let
alone. Restore ns to tho Union, upon equal
terms, and one decade will exhibit to the world
a State unequalcd in the records of history—
unsurpassed in all tho elements of material, in
tellectual and moral greatness.
With a knowledge of these things did yon in
tend upon the occasion referred to, to delude us !
with false hopes? Surely, you did not. Now,;
w hat wo ask—what we h'ave a right to ask— J
what ^onr speech has invited ns to ask—is that !
the 7 ribune at once affirm the personal cieics of j
its distinguished editor, and openly adcocate the
immediate restoration of the Southern States to
the Union. Then, indeed, the hope you express, |
“that across the graves of onr revolutionary
patriots and soldiers—of Patrick Henry, of
Daniel Morgan and John Marshall, hands lately
raised against each other in bloody conflict may
be clasped Once more in paternal concord, and
that a nobler and truer and closer Union may
spring from tho rekindled memory of a heroic
and inspiring past,” will be realized.
I address this letter to you through the col
umns of tho Macon’ Daily Telegraph, the mast
ably edited newspaper published in this State.
Perchance it may meet your eye, and if it should,
yon may insert it in the Tribune. Your readers
may be willing to read it. I stand but the shad
ow of a name, but (pardon my vanity) I am not
without some honor in my own country. A lit
tle vanity maybe tolerated when it gives empha
sis to truth.
Ah! those memories to which you so grace
fully refer. The tomb of Mount Vernon, from
which radiates the sublimest manhood that ever
graced humanity; the eloquence of “the forest-
born Demosthenes —tho inspired champion of
right and liberty—still, like Alpine thunder-
tones. resounding among the nations; the
learning and labor of the first and greatest of all
the expounders of the Constitution; the hero
ism, sacrifices and shed blood of Daniel Morgan ;
are they bn( the pleasurable play-things of a lit
erary festival ? Are they not the incentives of
right action f It is for yon, sir, to determine.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
OsE OF THE Conquered.
THROAT AND LUNGS.
To the 'Editors of the Maeon Telegraph :
Sins—I beg to present the following as evi
dence of the success of my system of auxiliary
treatment by Inhalation and Atomization for
diseases of tho Nose, Throat and Lungs. By
the use of these agencies I have been able to
combat, successfully, a class of diseases hither
to believed to be incurable. In addition to
many testimonials of a similar character, which
I shall publish, I also possess thousands of let
ters from every portion of the country, from
patients who havo been successfully treated by
me.' These testimonials will afford the anxions
and inquiring mind of the invalid something
upon which to bnild a hope of restoration to that
greatest of all temporal blessings, Health.—
Having closed my office in New Orleans for the
summer, I will remain here for a short time, in
order to givo those who desire to consult me, an
opportunity to avail themselves of my personal
attention; but ns my stay is limited, such should
call upon me at once.
JAMES A. HUNTER, M. D.,
Physician for the Diseases of tho
Nose, Throat, Lungs, Heart,
Eye and Ear,
No. 70 Mulberry Street.
Macon, Ga., September 4,18G9.
The Wkatheb has been remarkably cool for
the season for several days past. Some half an
hour after snnrise, on Friday morning, we ob
served that the mercury indicated fifty-five, and
think the temperature was quite as cool Satur
day morning. The telegrams have told us that
snow fell in New York on the 1st instant, which
was an extraordinary occurrence. The whole
year seems to have presented unusual and ab
normal conditions. The weather has been fitfnl
and capricious to an extraordinary degree, and
we have seen that it has victimised the crops
all over the country. No doubt the rust in oot
ton, so fatal to our hopes, is primarily attribut
able to these unusual weather vicissitudes.
FROM
JAMES GORDON BENNETT,
EDITOR HEW TORE HERALD,
As to tho success of Da. HUNTER’S Practice
in New York City, and its happy effect in
his own case.
“Modern Progress in the Medical Profession.
Tho public have lately had presented to them a
rather novel feature in the journalism of the
day, in the shape of elaborate scientific treatises
on medical subjects, appearing in consecutive
chapters, in tho columns of the daily and weekly
newspapers of the city. These articles aro
from the pen of Dr. Hunter, the well-known
practitioncor in pulmonary and bronchial dis
eases, and are distinguished by their thorough
acquaintance with the subjects treated of, the
simplicity and clearness of their language, and
the demonstrative force of the argument em
ployed. ******
“Now, we know from the vast number of
cases treated and cures effected by Dr. Hnnter
daring tho period referred to, that his efforts
contributed, if not to prodnee all, at least the
greater share of this improvement. The sever
ity of the past winter would have increased, in
stead of diminished, tho mortality arising from
pulmonary diseases, had not there been some
new and powerful counteracting influence at
work.
“ TF« hate had personal experience of the hap
py results of the Doctor's mode of treatment, and
can touch for its success. Owing to the severe
drudgery incident to our pursuits, and that ten
dency to our bronchial diseases with which the
peculiarity of our climate afflicts such a large
portion of onr population, we have been suffer
ing for several years past from a throat affec
tion, which all the medicinal remedies that we
had formerly applied had failed to cure. "VYo
can truly say that wo have found more relief,
and greater hope of ultimately getting rid of the
malady, from Dr. Hunter’s mode of treatment,
than from that of any other medical man to
whom we had previously submitted our case.”
New Orleans Crescent.
Da. Huxteb’s Lejteb.—To those afflicted
with throat and lung diseases, we take great
pleasure in recommending the perusal of Dr.
Hunter’s letter in another column. Dr. Hun
ter has long devoted his entire attention and
efforts to tho treatment of those diseases.
Catarrh, bronchitis and asthma are the most
fruitful sources of consumption, that fearful
scourge which has desolated so many house
holds, and the recollection of which strikes ter
ror to the hearts of those who have witnessed
the mental anguish and physical suffering of
some friend or relative who has been consigned
by it to an untimely grave. 'Whatever promises
to relieve, remedy, or prevent this disease de
serves our earnest consideration, particularly
when coming from a physician of Dr. Hunter’s
reputation and experience.
SPECIAL NOTICE.
Dr. Hunter can bo consulted at his office in
Macon, No. 70 Mulberry Street, (opposite La
nier House) npon all diseases of the Head,
Throat and Lungs, embracing Chronic Catarrh
and Ozasna, Bronchitis, Aasthma, Consumption,
loss or impairment of hearing or sight, etc.
Off fob Cuba.—Quite a sensation was created
in our town on Wednesday evening by the ar
rival of twenty-eight Young Americans, said
to be destined for the island of Cuba. They
were all good-looking young fellows, and seemed
to be in fine spirits. They doubtless have stout
hearts to prompt them on such a perilous ex
pedition, and to subject themselves to the pri
vations and difficulties that await them. We
learn they are going to Cuba for the purpose of
joining tlia Cuban army in defense of that is
land We know how to sympathize with them,
as we have seen the elephant ourselves. War
is no child's play, and should be engaged in with
some deliberation.
Since writing the above fourteen more men
have arrived and joined the party already here.
The United States Marshal came on the same
train with the last squad, on Thursday evening,
and made some effort to arrest the whole party;
but failing to summons a sufficient posse, aban
doned the arrest until United States troops
could be had, which, it is said, he telegraphed
for. The Cuban expedition in the presence of
the United States Marshal conducted themselves
very orderly, and at a late hour last night
quietly left for parts unknown.—Chattahoochee
Mirror, 3d.
Down in Front.—On yesterday evening a lit
tle tangle foot became pretty well scattered
among our guests bound for Cuba, and made
them a little unmanageable. In front of our
office quite a disturbance occurred among them
selves ; brick-bats and whisky bottles fairly
flew; pistols drawn, but by the exertions of the
sober portion of the “young bloods,” nobody
hurt. After nightfall a party of them went over
to the black belt, foraging, where they wero met
by an enraged force of negroes armed with
double-barrel shot-guns, but no damage done.
