THE TELEGRAPH. BY CLISBY & REID. TVLCOSAPH BOLOIKO. CORXtE CH1BST k BICOID 8TH. TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 7, I860. Mil A. IT.

Fire in Columbus — Burning of the Rope Works. Items. Foubtu Page.—The Widower's Wife. The Four Gates of Hell. Items. The Press Excursion. We observe in the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel of Saturday an editorial of two col umns in which the writer expresses his chagrin, regret, and disappointment over the late press excursion. We are very sorry that the General did not enjoy himself, and should have seen or suspocted anything amiss on that excursion ; but wo proposo to confine remark to such por tions of the article as are personal to the senior editor of the Telegraph, and involvo him, to a greater or less extent, as a cause of the editor s disappointments, and of the alleged misdirec tion of the expedition. The Chronicle says : We saw nothing of Bollock onrselves until the train reached Cartcrsville, where he and the editor of the Macon Telegbapii made short.ro- sponses to Maj. Cooper’s reception speech. We did not hear theso speeches, bnt learn that they were of the mutual admiration order, and that at their close personal courtesies were ex changed over a bottle of wino. And again : Upon assembling for dinne.' in the dining room of the Choice Honse [in Rome], and after ? ;entlemon had commenced to disenss their ood, Mayor Hargrove arose and made a short speech, in which he was highly and pointedly eulogistic of “onr Governor," and wound up by a sentiment complimentary to him. This called the Beast to his feet, who, in a few dis jointed sentences, whinod his thanks, and then, in the most patronizing manner possible, called upon Col. Clisby, the Prtstdevt of the State Assnriatid Press, to respond for that body. Of course we knew that, after the adjourn ment of the Convention in Atlanta, to meot on the lfith of November at Macon, Col. Clisby had no more right to speak for, or, in any manner commit, the Press than any other individual member of the Association. Indeed wo knew that the organization of that Association is so far only temporary. Yet, lining called ont as he was, as the President of the Press Associa tion, whatevor he might say would bo rendered, to some extent, as the sentiments of the mem bers of the Press then present. Much to our mortification and regret, the speech of Col. Clisby even excelled the Mayor in fulsome compliments to Bullock and his ad ministration. Among Other things ho said that ho “believed that nil that Governor Bullock bad done as Governor, and his main aims woro to aid the people of the Htate, and foster and de velop their material interests." These, we be lieve, were his exact words, and we were inex pressibly shocked at their utterance. It is, perhaps, duo to Col. Clisby to say that wo have been informed by a gentleman of tho Press, who soon after spoke to him on the subject, thnt tho Col. declared that, as he was unaccus tomed to public speaking, he did not know wbnt he was saying. This Rome demonstration satisfied ns that we eonld no longer, oven by our presence, giro countenance to such proceedings, and we can didly informed Col. Hnlbcrt that, owing to tho political turn which had been given to the affair we should bo compelled to retiro from the party. He Expressed deep regret at what had been said and dono, and declared that it was without his consent or approval, and hoped wa would con tinue with tho party. 1. In regard to tho affair at Cartorsvillo, wo were ro far from the speakers, on tho onlsido of the crowd, that wc heard little that was said, cither by Col. Cooper or tho Governor. When the latter concluded, there were very loud and incessant calls for the writer, and much against his inclination he was forced to thread his way through the crowd and put in an appearance. Ho spoko loss than five minutes—said nt>t one word about Gov. Bullock, either good, bad, or indifferent—and drnnk no wine with him or any body else. All our time was occupied in examining tho exceedingly interesting collection of mineral specimens which had been gathered by the gen tlemen of Bartow county for tho inspection of tho press, and in conversing with the venerable Col. Cooper and others in reference to them. 2. In respect to matters at ltomo. To tho best of our knowledge and belief, wo used no such language in reference to Governor Bullock as is attributed to us by tho Chronicle <t Sonti- nel. It istnio, an entirely inexperienced speak er, in an off-hand address upon such an occa sion, is not quite self-possessed, and his lan guage is not, therefore, as exact or as well cho sen ur it should be. But as we never entertained that opinion of Governor Bullock, and have no recollection of complimenting him on that or any other occasion except far Ote interest dis played in the Material deeelopment of Georgia, by his sanction of that excursion and the courtesy disphtyed to the gentlemen of the press^ we are morally certain that tho Chronicle is in error. We are certain that wo never gave, on that or any other occasion, the slightest endorsement of the political career of Governor Bullock, for we entertain very serious objections to it. And that tho General must have misconceived ns, is also apparent from the fact that although a considerable number of tho gentlemen of the press took the trouble to express their satisfac tion with onr remarks on that occasion, not one of them took any exception to those remarks, in onr hearing, or so as to come to onr knowl edge. Whereas, if we hail made tho declaration attributed to us by the Chronicle it would prob ably have provoked an immediate challenge, and most certainly disapprobation would have come to our ears. It was onr honest nim not to introduce politics, but to avoid the slightest approach to them. We took the same view os the Chronicle does in reference to our individual right to sptat for the press of Georgia, and so represented the point to nnmbera of the gentlemen of the press who came to us to confer upon the subject— We feel confident that wo spoko at Rome by the general desire of the press, but not so much on the score of tho complimentary position assigned ns in Atlanta, as on the score of ago and long connection of the press. The gentlemen of the press did not expect a good speech, bnt they were anxious that nothing should be said or left unsaid which would mar the harmony of the party, and compromit the press to any position their judgment did not approve. There were rumors flying round the train in its course from Chattanooga, that at the public reception in Rome the Governor might be offensively ignored, or perhaps even worse. It was not the desire of the majority of the Press that the Governor of Georgia, in their hands, should be treated in any other way than with all the respect due to his official position. It is true, they differed from him strongly in politics, and they had generally denounced his official oourae with great freedom: but they were, never theless solicitous that he should meet with nothing on this excursion inconsistent with what was dne to the Governor of Georgia—especially as he had, as it were, entrusted himself in the hands of his political opponents—for ©f the whole press delegation present, not more than two or three oould be said to be his party friends. Con sequently the writer was very careful, from motives which the magnanimity of Georgians will appreciate, to make, what seemed to us to be, a proper allusion to the presence of the Gov ernor, and our own recollection, together with the reports, we have seen, oonfine onr compli ment to tile Governor, solely to his connection with that excursion. And ft Is dne to truth to add, that no man, under the circumstances, could have conducted himself with more delicacy and propriety thaw did Gov. Bollock. He obtruded himself upon no one—he did not put himself forward—he was genial, attentive, and kind to all who ap proached him. His object in accompanying the expedition was simply to lend the sanction of his official position to the trip. Both he and Col. Hulbert did all that they coaid, by putting the press in communication with the best sources of information, to facilitate the accom plishment of its patriotic purposes. The re lations of the press there present with these gentlemen and with each other were of the most pleasant and harmonious character, and we were as much surprised to see any political or party bearing attributed to it as we should bo to see any religions sectarian objects ascribed to it. There was quite as much of one as the other—and not a particle of either. This, we are sure, will be tho verdict of four-fifths of the gentlemen of the press who went through with this excursion. Finally, the accidental prominence of the writer in this affair was none of his own seek ing, and if, by mistake or misjudgment, or in experience, he had done or said any thing justly offensive to the press, he would feel great per sonal mortification. But from the fact that, at the final meeting and parting around the festive board in Atlanta, he was loudly and almost unanimously called upon to make tho parting remarks, he is indneed to hope that ho did or faid nothing to seriously impair the confidence and good opinion of the brotherhood of the press. ' ♦ On onr part, tho intercourse wra one of un alloyed pleasure. We have never associated with more nrbane, frank and courteous gentle men, and the broad current of good fellowship and harmony flowed on from beginning to end without an apparent riffle on the surface. When all its results shall have been worked ont, we devoutly trust that the Press Excursion to the mining regions of Georgia, will be found to have constituted an era in the material develop ment of this grand old Commonwealth. With these remarks wo dismiss all thnt is personal to ourselves. Personal Government. One of the evil incidents of a personal gov ernment may be seen in tho obvious uneasiness about the health of tho Emperor Napoleon. See the telegram in this edition. We appre hend that however much the French people, or a portion of them, may delight in shodomantade against tho imperial government, there are few intelligent Frenchmen who do not dread the crisis which will arise on the death of Napo leon. No man with less personal prestige, or less wise, sagacious, strong and resolute, could have kept down tho elements of disorder and main tained for Franco twenty-one years of almost uninterrupted peaco and prosperity, in which she has fairly outstripped every other nation of the earth in progress and accumulation. We have no doubt that France needed almost pre cisely such a government as Napoleon has given her. But let him be removed by death, and faction and strife will soon be tho order of the day. To ifteet tho sovero ordeal to which his dynasty will bo subjected after his death, tho Emperor has of late tried to inangnrato a constitutional and representative government, which may possibly serve when ha is gone, ns a break-water to tho throne. A responsible Min istry and a responsible Parliament, which, in England, meet the shock of popular opprobium and carry nppeals from tho government to the arbitramentof popular elections, instead of to the bamcatles end revolts ns in Paris, ho is, doubt less, in somo hope, may save his dynasty, and preservo the Regency in the Queen and tho suc cession, in dne time, to tho Prince Imperial. But will the French peoplo fall in with this idea ? Evon if they comprehend it, will they have the patience and tho tolerance to abide by its practical workings? We doubt it. There are too many rank and violent partisans there— fierce Republicans and as fierce anti-Bonaparte royalists of nil shades—to tolerate long a per sonally feeble government, nenco tho world is alarmed and anxions when the health of Napo leon begins to fail. It remits tho whole vast political and neutral capital of France to the chapter of accidents. And here is tho trouble with personal gov ernments. A wise, patriotic and conscientious Absolutism is a good government, bnt it puts everything on tho peril of human life. Who will not feel tho greatest anxiety for France when Napoleon dies? Agricultural null Mechanical Agency. Wo congratulate onr citizens, and planting friends particularly, that we shall have estab lished in our city within a few days a business especially needed at this time, by our fellow- citizen, Mr. W. W. Parker, viz: a central agricultural and mechanical agency, for the exhibition and Bale, at manufacturers' prices, of all improved labor-saving appliances and agricultural implements, seeds, etc. Mr. P.'s business qualifications nnd bis mechanical expe rience are a guarantee of success. It is, in fact, the ono thing needed in Macon, to which onr city is especially adapted from its central position and divergent railroads. The large nnd convenient rooms next to Lawton & Law ton's. on Fourth street, are secured for the purpose, and will be the place for all interested in this snbject to spend nny vacant honr pleas antly and profitably. Jars’ TEIiEQRAPH. WBW The Cotton Crop lor 1S60-7O. The most reliable estimates of the yield of cotton for ’G9-’70 place it at 2^fi(X),000 to 2 t 7f*0,- 000 bales, the opinion being freely expressed that it will reach the latter figures, if the supply of labor needed during the picking season does not fall short. Some Northern journals.put the figures as high as 3,000,000 bales. We believe there is cotton growing sufficient to make three million boleh; but we fear, as does the New Orleans Picayune, that we have not sufficient labor in the South to secure that amount With plenty of labor we can supply the world with cotton. We clip the foregoing from the Savannah Re publican merely to say that we think this view of the probable magnitude of the crop is quite too rose-colored. Our impression is that the cotton crop of Georgia, at least, cannot exceed that of last year and is more likely to fall con siderably short of it. English International Law and La bor Agency. We have received from Birmingham, Eng land, a circular announcing the formation of an organization to facilitate emigration from Eng land of the better class of people—farmers' sons with some capital—well-to-do tradesmen, man ufacturers, skilled mechanics, governess, fe male clerks, housemaids, etc., soliciting cor respondence with J. M. Holmes, Secretary, at Birmingham. It is desired to register Ameri can farms and lands for sale, and when sale is effected one per cent, will be charged. Per sons ordering female servants must remit $20 to the agency. An Acre of Land.—To lay off an acre of land, measure two hundred and eight feet eight and a half inches for each side of a square and the contents, says the Southern Cultivator, will be exactly one acre. As this recipe will be conve nient to farmers and gardeners, let them make a note of it. From Washington. Wamnurrox, September 6.—Fessenden is some what better with slight hopes of a favorable result. Rawlins is very weak and is suffering. There are hopes that by stimulants he can be kept alive until Grant’s arrival this afternoon. Revenue to-day $875,000. Imported cigarettes may be repacked. A comparative statement of revenue from March to August, inclusive, shows mi increase of eight millions this year over last. Several breweries in New York, including Hoffers, worth several hundred thousand dollars, have been seized. Ilaffel, himself, is worth a million. He was arrested and bailed in the sum of five thousand dollars. Persons having business with tho Revenue De partment regarding claims, must oommunicate the same by mail. No person whatever is allowed communication with the clerks or employees without express permission from the Commissioner, or Dep uty, or Solicitor. Employees of the currency bureau will work two hours extra, daily, until the famine is relieved. DEATH OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR. General John A.

TvT JAMKb MARTIN* eep7-td - Sheriff. The Cotton Crop ot 1S69—Develop ment ot the South. From Uio Selma (Ala.) Times. August 29. Tho estimates from well-informed sources plaoe tho number of bales of cotton that the South will raise this year at 3,000,000, and it is, we think, perfectly safe to calculate on 2,500,000 bales. And we think there are equally reasona ble grounds to assert that ths average price will be at least twenty-five cents per pound. If the crop amounts to 3,000.000 of bales and brings twenty-five cents, it will bring into the country $300,000,000, and if only 2,500,000 boles be raised at twenty-five cents, wo will receive for it $250,000,000. And a large portion of this amount will be surplus for investment, as it will not be required by the planter to pay off debts. A comparatively small portion of it will be re quired for purchasing supplies for another year, for planters generally have profited by the les sons of the past, and have raised grain crops in addition to cotton. The Southern people, and especially the planters, are in a better condition financially than they have ever been since the war, for they are comparatively free of debt, and as there are no negroes to buy and no necessity of adding to their landed property, this vast sum of money can be devoted to bnilding foundries, factories, mills, importing improved machinery, increasing our present means of transportation, opening new routes of commerce, and to the development generally of the resources of the country. Ten per cent, on two hundred and fifty millions is twenty-five millions, and even if this snm alone were expended in enterprises of the kind we have mentioned, in the sections where the cotton was raised, what a tremen dous difference it would make ; and if the sys tem were kept np for a few years the South would soon become the most independent and richest country on the face of the earth. Mbs. Stowe has found a champion in John Neel, of Portland, Me., who has, it is said, facts in his possession to corroborate her statements. The Boston Advertiser says, Mr. Neal was pres ent at Lord Byron’s funeral, and acquainted with his friends, and that his reminiscences will soon appear in the public prints, and form a fit sequel to his already published “Wandering Recollections." Worth, the man milliner of Faria, was asked recently what trimmings should be put on a dress just finished. He answered, turning np his nose as he spoke, “None whatever; it is only an 800 franc dress.
