THE TELEGRAPH. BY CLISBY & REID. T.kKGRAPH RCILDISO, CORKER CHRRRT k SgCOSD RTS. THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 9, 1869. Mb. A. n. Yahbesgton is our general Travel- ing Agent, authorized to transact any business for ns. Ou(ftfi«le ( ontents.

A Sad Spectacle. One of the most lugubrious spectacles ex hibited in this untoward generation vra.s seen in Nashville, the other day, when eight of the Radical Representatives in Congress got to gether and issued a formal Protest against the iate election in Tennessee. When the Radicals in Georgia undertook to fraudulate fifty thou sand Democratic majority in this State, we thought it a strong case. They deserved sym pathy— they had declared open war on common sense .and human reason. Rut when it comes to seventy thonsand majority—that is still more startling. It is the twelfth juror cursing the obstinacy and folly of his eleven compeers. It is the old heretic of Noah's flood re-enacted, who sAt on the top of the highest rock swearing he meant to bring suit against the corporation for not providing proper drainage. WhAt will these protesters have done ? Do they expect Congress to interfere—annnll the election and back Stokes in his threatened Coup (f ctat f They don't say, and probably they dare not say. They protest, and they set forth to Congress and the country the horrid ills which must follow if the election is per mitted to stand, but they dare not recommend any positive course in the premises. They shrink from any direct appeal to Congress to annnll the ballot and set the election aside.— And what they dnre not recommend, even for the temporary salvation of their own political bacon, they can scarcely hope Congress will dare undertake. Indoed, so far as we are concerned, wo should be glad to see this question of Congressional interference with the freedom of elections, take a shape which no man could hereafter evade or misrepresent. We should be glad to see Con gress proclaim openly—the position it has prac tically assumed in the South, that heroafter no State election the results of which aro unsatis factory to the Radical party, shall bo permitted to stand. We should then, at least, know how mattors stand and wh it is the character of the government. No doubt these gentlemen feel much ag grieved by the Tennessee election. It sounded the death knell to all their political prospects.— It emancipated the whites. It put an end to a stupendous Ethiopian Imposition: but it is too big a case for their management. ,Mi<I<llo <*eur^iu Colored baptist .As sociation. This body met in Eatonton, Georgia, on Sat urday last, and adjourned onFriday, 7thinstant. Rev. Wilkes Flagg, of Milledgeville, was the presiding officer, and \r< learn from those who were present, that he presides with great dignity, and preserves admirable order. It was the oc casion of quite a largo assemblage of the colored people in the village, and it affords us plcasuro to chronicle the fact that their conduct was or derly during the whole time. An important step has been taken in connec tion with the Colored Baptist Ministry, by Rev. E. W. Warren, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of this city. Mr. Warren was at the meeting of the Association on tho last day, and proposed to board for one month in Macon, say December next, fifty colored Baptist Ministers, and arrange for their instruction by a catacheti- cal system of lectures by himself and other prominent Georgia Baptist Ministers. The subjects on which they aro to bo lectured are the following: Scriptural Interpretation— Scriptural Geography — Scriptural History— Christian Doctrine — Christian Experience— Holy Living—Church Discipline—Ministerial Qualifications—Composition of Sermons—De livery of Sermons and Church Organization. His proposition was gratefully received by the Moderator and tho Association generally, and we have no doubt Mr. Warren will make a success of it, and add materially to the efficiency of tho colored ministry. The Association, by the way, we hear adopted a resolution looking to three examinations of can didates before they are fully licensed to preach. Tho Cotton i‘rop of ISG9. Correcting an estimate made by the Charles ton News, a correspondent of that paper insists that tho crop of this year will not bo more than 200,000 bales over that of 1SGS. We shall be surprised if it is ns much. All the accounts of the crop in Georgia which reach us, show that the fields now look much as they usually do in No vember. Tho crop is almost universally made. Picking will be pretty much over by the middle or last of Octol>er. This is an extraordinary state of affairs, and although a greater area was cultivated than last year, we have serious doubts whether the yield will bo greater. Wo hope it will, but really see no great chance for it, The Cot ton Crop. A recent trip on the Milledgevillo and Eaton ton Branch Railroad convinces us that if our State makes as much cotton as last year we will be fortunate. The fields generally, present the appearance as to life of the plant, condition of the leaves, etc., as they usually do in November after the first frost of autumn. There was a good bottom crop made, a fair middle crop and no late or August crop unless in exceptional cases. Cotton is mostly open and picking is fine ; but it will soon be gathered. That section, we hope, will raise enough corn for home con sumption. Small creeks have entirely dried up and many mills stopped for want of water. From Brunswick.—We have the Seaport Ap peal of the 4th, for the first timo for several weeks. What has been tho matter ? We trust the Appeal does not cut us off in otir prime. The Appeal is principally down on Savannah and the Central for their alleged monopolizing spirit and characterizes the former as the “Southern Hub.” We hope to see Brunswick a prosperous and growing city without taking a leaf from the laurels of Savannah. There’s room for both on this round globe of ours, and wo bid both God Bpeed. MojrrooKEEY and Columrus Cotton Receipts.

The Coming Immigration and the Labor Question. While we are discussing questions respecting Chinese and foreign immigration, we are really overlooking the kind of immigration most im minent and the source from which it is to come. These were pointed out last spring in a charge to the Grand Jury of Dougherty by Hon. J. M. Clarke, which was printed in the Telegraph about that time. The Judge prophesied a heavy emigration of the freedmen from Virginia and the other border States—gradually retiring before the influx of white immigration and white labor. Repeated extracts from the Virginia papers which we have copied, of late, show that this movement has begun. A statement reprinted yesterday from the Lynchburg News, says that the crop failure in Virginia will drive the ne groes by thousands southward from Virginia during the ensuing winter. The Danville Times says that Virginia will soon be occupied by small immigrant proprietors from other States, and the colored population will move rapidly southward. We have also published announce ments of the actual beginning of such an exo dus from Virginia, so that we may justly assume that the theory of the Judge is fast taking the shape of fact On the other hand, we learn from many trust worthy sources that the negro population is rapidly leaving tho rich alluviums and prairie lands of the Southwest, and seeking the up lands. They will not consent to labor in insalu brious localities. Sickness is very fatal where there is no provision for medical advice and remedies, and proper food and care for the pa tient, and where these are had the expenses sweep away the small earnings of the laborers. Thus, under the combined operation of these causes the circle of the colored habitat is fast narrowing. This population is gradually work ing towards a common centre—the great upland cotton region of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee. Hero they have a mild and healthful climate, and here they can find abun dant labor and good wages in the production of food and upland cotton crops. Their places in the great cotton alluviums, if supplied at all, must bo filled by Asiatics, and many millions of the Chinese are born in and people just such regions. We believe the Mississippi alluviums and the rich prairies of the Southwest can well afford to offer such superior inducements to Chinese labor, as will command it and insure that vast region of unrivalled fertility from all danger of relapsing into jungle. But we, in tho Southern uplands, see iji this movement of the colored population that our apply of negro labor is probably destined to increase from year to year, and that we occupy the point around which the last of the colored race will cluster in the final issue of the great industrial conflict with the whito race. We need not, therefore, vex ourselves with the problem of Chinese immigration. Wo should rather learn to do our best with the negro, and prepare to compete, through him, with Asiatic labor employed in tho production of lowland cottons. Tho best and most practical minds in these States should be turned to digesting the best systems of labor employment and management —the best system of police for tho protection of property, the collection of wages, enforce ment of contracts, tho security of labor against crime, demoralization, fraud, and imposition, and in fine, the harmonizing of the interests of the white and colored populations upon the best possible foundation. Let us assume, once for all, that the kind of agricultural labor we havo is to bo ours for at •least a generation, and turn our thoughts away from vain speculations about some other, to [the practical point—how we may best utilise, control, and govern what we have for tho inter ests of all concerned. BY TELEGRAPH. JTEW AOVBBTIS: From Washington. WismsGTOK, September 8.—The Secretary of the X&vy h»e ordered minute guns to be fired at every naval station and by war vessels, in honor of Sec retary Rawlins. Generals Grant and Sherman were in consultation this morning at tbe War Department. The President to-day appointed General Sherman Secretary of War. It is supposed that G. B. Dodge will ultimately obtain the portfolio. All public business is suspended and the public buildings are draped in mourning. Tbe following order has been issued at Norwich. Connecticut. The parties in whose behalf the pe tition was made are now on trial before a military commission at Calvert. Texas, for the alleged mur der of Dr. Maxwell, in June last: Kr parts. Ben.

Chase, Chief Justice of tbe United States, September 6th, 1S69 : Upon hearing the petition in this case, it appear ing from tho statement of D. N. Baziza, Esquire, counsel for the petitioners, that there is no good reason to apprehend that the sentence of the mili tary commission now trying the said petitioners, will, if againet them, or either of them, be carried into execution until the questions arising upon their petition shall have been determined by the Supreme Court of the United States, upon hearing of an ap plication in behalf of E. M. Yerger for a writ of habeas corpus with writ of certiorari, directed to tho Circuit Court of the United States for the Dis trict of Mississippi, to be made at the session of the Supreme Court of the United States to be held in October next, or upon hearing of a similar appli cation for writ of habeas corpus with writ of certio rari, directed to the Circuit Court of the United States for the. Western Dietrict of Texas, to be made to the said Supreme Court, at its said Octo ber session, in behalf of tho petitioners; it is therefore, Ordered. That farther action upon this petition be postponed until tho second Monday of October next, at Chambers, in the City of Washington, on which day, or ‘earlier if fonnd needful, this appli cation may he renewed. S. P. Chase, Chief Justice of tho United States. A letter lias been received from Mr. Davis dated London August 20th. The Chinese Minister, Browne, informs the State department that the Chinese government has grant ed no concessions to any company or individuals for tbe inland telegraphs. FROM CUBA. The Cubans have tho following to the 20th : A ro- connoitering force of seven hundred from Puerto Principe, were defeated. It is reported that Puerto Principe has been abandoned, the Spaniards having retreated to Keuvitas. Valmazada’a forces moved from Los Tunos and attacked the Cubans, who were concentrating in that vicinity under Quesada. Yal- mazada commanded the Spaniards. Tho force was composed of twenty-five hundred regulars and fif teen hundred volunteers. The engagement lasted four hours. The Spaniards were repulsed with heavy loss. The Cuban loss was over one hundred. Yal- mazada found refuge under the fortifications of Los Tunos, which Quesada, without artillery, was unable to attack. In tho fight reported in Puerto La Grande in which a Spanish force of over seven hundred was defeated, it is Btated that after the first fire the troops desert ed tn masse to the Cubans/ when tho officers were captured and paroled by Jordan.

We are glad to see that time touches him lightly. All Georgia honors him as one of the purest and wisest of her statesmen. A Curiosity—Mr. T. J. Lane brings us a com sucker from his field, with a well grown ear of com shooting out from the very top of it. Death of Senator Fessenden.—This malan- choly event is announced in our telegrams to day. Col n in bus Affairs. The Sun of Tuesday says there was a heavy rain on Sunday on the Talbotton road, within five miles of Columbus, and abundant rains have fallen in the southern part of Russell county and in other sections of Alabama. There was a slight drizzle in Columbns on Monday. The mill and ginhou.se of Wm. G. Woolf oik, eight miles below Columbus, were burned on Sunday. Mr. Eugene Stewart, a young and promi nent merchant of Columbns, died on Monday evening of congestive fever. Trinity Church has chosen Rev. S. S. Harris, late of Montgom ery, to be its Rector. A novel claim of suc cession to the estate of T. W. Brantley has arisen by the appearance of a woman claim ing to be his widow. A woman unknown, left by an unknown man for accouchment at a house in Columbns, died of congestive chill, which seized her immediately after her companion had left her. She refused to make any disclosures and was anxious to die. From nalilivin County. The Federal Union learns from Mr. E. D. Brown, a contractor on tbe Macon and Augusta Railioad, that the distance from Macon to Mil- ledgeville by the line is thirty-one and a quarter miles. About thirty-five bales of new cotton had been sold in Milledgeville up to Tuesday, at 29l@29J. R. L. Hunter, Esq., had established in Mil ledgeville an agency of the Southern Insurance and Trust Company of Savannah. The grand jury of Baldwin county complain of Gov. Bullock’s exercise of the pardoning power—of his reckless expenditure of the funds of the State in advertising in the public gazettes, and of the removal of tho seat of government. From Monroe Connty. The Advertiser of the 7th, has the following: The amount of cotton which has been brought to Forsyth thus early in the season is simply astonishing. On the 3th of September, 1S63, the first of the new crop was brought to that market. Up to yesterday, one hundred bales of this year's crop had been received in Forsyth. This comparison will give some idea of the ef fect of the unfavorable seasons of tbe past month. The crop is premature, and will fall fully one-half short of the usual yield. We learn from Mr. Jas. M. White that the caterpillar made its appearance in his cotton last Sunday, and is playing havoc with bis crop. Up to that time his prospects were better than most of his neighbors, his crop being planted on bottom lands. If the caterpillars, however, continue to make headway as they have for the past few days, his cotton will be ruined The farmers of Pike are very blue about the prospect of the cotton crop. It is the same old tale—dry weather, rust, etc. The crop through out Monroe, Pike and the snrronnding counties is opening very fast, and farmers are busy pick ing it out. The Monroe Agricultural Society held a pub lic discussion on immigration last Saturday. Opposed to it—CoL Pinckhard and Judge Phin- azee. In favor—Dr. Lawton and Geo. W. Ad ams. Adjourned for farther debate, without a decision. The following statement was telegraphed from Washington on the 3d instant: A meeting was held to-night in one of the wards, by black Republicans, at which it was stated that there was great suffering, reaching almost actual starvation, among the negroes. It was shown that the corporation had not been able to pay the negroes who had worked on the streets for three months, and that the city is bankrupt The Mayor was further charged with having swindled the city out of eleven thousand dollars. Property holders here are so disheartened, that, the Baltimore Son, of tins morning, says they are selling here at a sacri fice and moving to that city. There is a band of robbers operating in the neighborhood of Sand Mountain, in Alabama. TLey waylay travelers and take their horses, watches, etc. The Pennsylvania Disaster. Scranton, September 8.—Two bodies havo been brought up swelled beyond recognition. Clots of blood clung about their mouths, and they were hor- riblo objects. It now seems that the efforts made to save the miners probably caused their death. The volume of air sent down for ventilation carried the flames from the burning shaft into the mine. Nothing is now being done except throwing water down tho shaft. Approach to the mouth of the mino is still dangerous. Later.—One hundred and three bodies have been brought up. PnzzjLDELFiriA, September 8,—A apodal to tho Evening Telegram says that tho Arundale shaft has been opened, and that the miners aro all dead. James Snider, who killed a Master Mason at Fair- mount, committed suicide in Moyamensing prison, to-day, by holding his head in a bucket of water. From Virginia. Richmond, Sept. 8.—Tho prodamation of Gen. Canby will bnng the Legislature together on Octo ber 6th. Governor Walker will bo installed as pro visional Governor within the next two weeks, at wliich time Governor Wells’ resignation, now in the hands of Canby, will to accepted. The Legislature itself will decide on whether it shall elect permanent or temporary officers. Tho stockholders of the Richmond and York River Railroad resolved to-day to extend the road twenty- one miles, to Chesapeake Bay, tlms shortening by seven hours timo between Richmond and Baltimore and Philadelphia. General Canby will issue the election prodama tion to-morrow. Governor Wells, it is stated on good authority, sent his resignation to General Canby a week ago, on the reception of tho Attorney General’s test oath opinion. F. E. Lindsey, Post-master at Ravens Nest, Scott county, was arrested and brought here to-night for robbing the mail. General News. -Portland, September 8.—Senator Fessenden is dead. Allentown, Penn., September 8.—The Allen town Iron Works were burned to-day. Loss, $300,- 000. It throws one thousand men out of employ ment. The company paid out one hundred an^ fifty thousand dollars as wages per month. New York. September 8.—A private dispatch to C. L.

BenoUt A Bankers, have failed. New Orleans, September 8.—Yesterday’s Detroit freight train, on the Jackson road, fell through the trestle above Kenneville. The train was fired and four cars and their contents consumed. Marine News.

The vessel, not being in a critical condition, will be gotten off unless the wind changes and drives it further on shore. Mr. Spurgeon, in a recent sermon, referred to the velocipede, saying that these new inven tions which the lads were riding down our streets would not keep up unless they were kept going ; the moment they stopped they fell down; and in this they were exceedingly like the Christian church, which would fall unless it was constantly moving on. The San Francisco Bulletin says the Chinese Sunday-school in that city “ is in a flourishing condition, but its attendance would be much larger if the Chinese did not fear the attacks of mffiians on the street.” Marriage of first cousins will be illegal in New Hampshire on Christmas and thereafter. The housekeeper of George Sand is said to be her illegitimate daughter by Eugene Sue. Bishop Linz, who was sentenced to imprison ment for defying the civil authorities of Austria, will be made a cardinal by the Pope. Humboldt’s servant, to whom he left most of his property is dead. The viceroy bought a doll in Paris for the Sol- tan’s daughter. The ear-rings of the toy woman cost $10,000.
