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.

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. {ibid.
