A Commotion.
There seems to be somewhat of a commotion
among a portion of the Democratic press upon
the matter of the called meeting of the Central
Executive Committee of the Democratic party
of Georgia. Both of the Augusta papers pro
nounce the Committee functus *>ff\rio t and chal
lenge their right to meet and question the occa
sion. The Chronicle «fc Sentinel contends that
their term of office expired last July,—which is
a mistake, as no term of service was mentioned.
The Constitutionalist says, ‘‘there are men on
the Committee who have always fought the
principles of Democracy, who took charge of the
Democratic party under'circumstances such as
do not now exist,” etc., and hints at purgation.
On the other hand, several of the papers hint
that our old friend, Judge 'Whitaker—a man
born in the Democratic fold—must, be invited
to leave the Committee as a heretic. The Jndge
is certainly entitled to trial before banishment.
We have no idea that the Committee intend
to do anything violent or distractive, and shall
await their action with composure.
Meanwhile, the party is not inconveniently
large and it is not worthwhile to expel any body
who does not desire to go.
We should recur to first principles. We un
derstand a Democrat is one who believes in a
strict construction of the Constitution,' and,
therefore, necessarily affirms that the Federal
Government is one of delegated and not origi
nal powers; which latter must be restricted by
tho terms of the grant. That the States are the
depositories of sovereignty, and, therefore, that
the whole coarse of proceeding which prodneed
tho war and which have been had since the war,
are in fatal conflict with the Constitution and
republican liberty; and the government must
be brought hack to the Constitution as its guide,
or liberty and civil order will be finally lost—
Wo understand that to be Democracy. But the
Telegraph has invested nothing whatever in
tho stock of mere personal hatreds and animos
ities which Rome seam disposed to identify with
Democracy, and In fact to consider the sum and
substance of its creed.
Tho Cotton Caforpillar— PrOVODtife
Treatment.
Tho Charleston News of the Oth has a long
communication from Dr. John W. R. Pope, of
St. Luke’s Parish, to the President of the South
Carolina Agricultural Society, upon the cotton
caterpillar—its ravages upon theeoast crops of
South Carolina—its mode of hibernation, etc.
The writer says:
Tho cocoon of the caterpillar moth does un
doubtedly bnxrow in the earth. I saw several
ploughed out of the earth about the let April,
ISC*'; took them up and found them active, and
pronounced them unquestionably the ooooon of
the cotton caterpillar. So did my foreman, a
smart, observant and experienced man of his
color. Planters around me report the same
thing. This spring tho cocoons were ploughed
up by thons :mds. This cocoon is as well known
and as distiuguishablc by certain peculiarities
both of motion and otherwise as the worm or
moth, in which no experienced observer can be
mistaken. It is idle any longer to entertain
doubt on this subject.
lie says the birds are no remedy, for tho coast
of Carolina swarms with them. The remedy he
suggests is that all the ootton lands and those
contiguous, hhould be deeply ploughed up, so
soon as the crop is gathered, so as to expose the
Chrysalides or grabs to the frost and cold snaps,
which will destroy them, no also recommends
that the cotton stalks should bo carefully col
lected and burned.
Russel and Peter’s Brewery.—Passing by
this establishment tho other day, wo were invi
ted in by Mr. Peter, and for the first time found
ourselves iu a manufactory of lager beer. Tho
appliance* and arrangements are much moro
elaborate and expensive than we supposed were
needful, and the works are driven by a steam
engine. The coolness of tho brewery, owing to
itsseini-subterranesnlocation—its cleanness and
the grateful odor of the malt, made it a pleasant
retreat from tho hot snnshino. We saw tho
Teutonic beverage in all its stages, and some of
it throwing off the foam from the buughole like
a spouting politician. A subterranean vault exca
vated from a rocky hillside, forms the retreat of
tho creature iu dog-days, where a cool damp at
mosphere is calculated to keep his excitement
within bounds. An experienced German brewer,
Mr. Gruber, presides over the establishment,
and Mr. Peter tolls us it supplies a large scope
of country, including Columbus, Cuthbert, Ea-
fanla, Albany, Americns, and other towns, with
a beverage whjc.h the Germans think as neces
sary ns bread.
The State Road.—The Atlanta Constitution
of the 7th insL snys : ‘‘Rumors were current
on the street yesterday that the Central Rail
road Company had proposed to lease the State
Road and pay in monthly, in advance, the sum
of £:»0,(X)i>. Wo don’t believe it, for there are
now no parties to enter into the lease. We look
at the rumor as rather a step to coerce the Ma
con and Western Railroad Company into cer
tain measures,”
A Fine Plantation for Sale.—The plantation
of Greene Hill, deceased, late of Houston coun
ty, is to he sold at public outcry in Perry, on
the First Tuesday in November next. See the
advertisement. This place contains thirteen
hundred acres, and is said to be one of the best
farms in the great cotton-producing county of
Houston. The Columbus Sun says : The place
is one of the most valuable in Georgia. The
lessee made £10,000 on it last season—said to
have been a poor crop year.
Thf.ke were six births on the same day in a
house in Carroll county, Ga., last week. A
lady had twins, two of her daughters each had
twins. The sex were all boys. Says a Georgia
paper, Commissioner Wiel might with pro
priety be called home—Georgia wants no im-
migiants.
Near Byron. Michigan, is a spring of water
so impregnated with lime that it has formed
about its issuing point, by deposit, a natural
curb, a rock with a hole in the centre. Every
twig and leaf over which tho stream from this
spring passes Is similarly coated with lime.
^ The ^ Ranken Knitting company, of Troy,
New York, held a meeting on Friday, and re
solved to shut down their mill at Cohoes forth
with, on account of the scarcity of cotton. The
Sandlake Mills, New York, have already stopped
from the same cause, and it is said that most, if
not all, the cotton mills in the vicinity will like
wise suspend.
The Hon. R. M. T. Hunter gives notice in a
card, published in the Richmond Enquirer, that
he is not a candidate for United States Senator
from Virginia, and that his public life ceased
with the war.
Next to the astonishing fact that each of the
New York evening papers has a larger circula
tion thAn all the rest combined, is the singular
incident that each published the news of the
boat-race “in advance of all competitors."
The matrimonial market at White Sulphur
Springs has been the best of this season.
The Cotton Crop and the Balls and
Bears.
Our highly intelligent Texas correspondent
estimates the cotton crop of Texas at only one-
third the yield anticipated last July. See his
letter. Tho drought and the caterpillar have
been even more destructive in Texas than in
the cotton States east of the Mississippi. The
blight has been universal, and we may .say that
throughout the whole Cotton region it has cut
down the anticipated yield from one-third to
one-half!
Tho crop of 1*£9 will ho harvested in a few
weeks and we think it will disappoint even the
planters, because no cotton is making at this
time. What bolls have approximated matnrity are
fast being opened by the hot snn and the dry
scorching atmosphere. The stalk is dead or de
prived of productive energy, and pickers will
find their work done even sooner than they an
ticipate. It is an extraordinary condition. We
cannot call to mind one like it in all our long
observation of cotton growing.
But, meanwhile, the very facts which indicate
to us the extraordinary meagrenesa of the crop,
are eagerly seized by the bears in the New York
market to break down quotations, and are used
with considerable effect. They have already
staggered the market, and knocked down prices
one cent; and it is probable they will be able to
do a good deal more than this.
It is not to be wondered at, when we .see cot
ton pouring in with such extraordinary rapidity.
For example, look at the situation in Macon.
Last year, up to the night of the Oth of Septem
ber, wo had received of new cotton only 425
bales—but this year, to the same time, we have
received 3000 bales! This is an extraordinary
contrast; but, rightly considered, it only shows
how fast and prematurely the crop is scorching
into maturity, while the same fell cause which
is pushing it forward so rapidly has blasted all
those germs of fruit which were too immature
to bo precipitated into the production of lint. A
large portion of the middle and all tho top crop,
which mnst be relied upon to eke out anything
like a fair product, are hopelessly cut off.
These facts, understood here, are not known
or properly appreciated in the Northern market,
and they will be slowly accepted at best. We
should not, therefore, allow ourselves to be sur
prised if quotations should adjust themselves,
for 6ome time, on the basis of a very liberal
crop—say tho neighborhood of three million
bales. If they do, planters should, if necessary,
accept advances on their cotton, and hold it till
the facta are known and undeniable.
There are those who believe that cotton next
spring must command in the neighborhood of
forty cents, and, at all events, it Is not a holding
to do timid about We are sorry for this fail
ure. We were in hopes the crop would have
been a round one, bnt that it most be smaller
than last year we have no doubt at all; and
unless planters are disposed to be very liberal
with the speculators, they will not accept any
material abatement of present prices.
Interestin£ from Texas.
Hot Weather— Caterpillar— Cotton cut of tiro-
thirds—The future Delivery men bit—Major
Johnston's Brag Acre in Texas—Politics*
Richmond, August 28th, 1869.
Messrs. Editors : For the last two weeks tho
weather has been intolerably hot The wonder,
is that the caterpillar, have been able to with
stand the scorching rays of the sun, but they
have, and have multiplied and thrived wonder
fully.
Some good judges estimate the crop in this
section at not over a third. The half grown
bolls on 8talks that are stripped of their leaves,
are moro likely to shrivel under the scorching
rays of the sun, than they arQ to mature and
open. Estimates are nothing better than wild
guesses at best, when the crop has been seri
ously damaged by disaster.
Gentlemen who havo made contracts for fu
ture delivery of ootton inside of 30 cents, as
some have, will find themselves engaged in a
losing business, unless they grow tho staple on
their own plantations.
If this generation has not got cotton on the
brain, it would be exceedingly difficult to say
wfaat is the insmirs on that organ. Haj. L jf.
Johnston’s “ brag acre,” near Eufaula, has ta
ken much of the starch and self-complacency
out of some of the Brazos planters, who believed,
nntil recently, that they could beat tho world in
the production of tho sunny staplo. The result
of that acre will be watched with more nervous
interest than was ever beforo bestowed on the
production of a single acre covered with what is
only a common plant. If Maj. Johnston was
not entirely free from cupidity and above ans-
•; • f hum lggery, h • might he suspected
of subsidizing the press in Southeast Alabama,
from the terms in which his cotton is spoken of,
with the ultimate view of selling the seed at
twenty-five cents a piece or more.
It is at length determined, it would seem from
Washington telegrams, by tho administration,
to throw the weight of its influence and patron
age against Jack Hamilton. Washington is a
good ways off, and as few of the Texans have
the honor of a personal acquaintance with Grant
or any member of his cabinet, the voters
will not feel themselves under any obligation
to Square their course by the whims of the bath
ers nt Long Branch. All the unfair tests they
mjiy exact of voters before registration, and all
tho money they can apply, will not defeat Ham
ilton.
After all the Radical remedies resorted to by
the reconstractionists to secure the Southern
States for that party, it is almost certain, that
under a fair election they could not carry one
of them to-morrow. When they picked up the
negro and converted him into a statesman, they
“caught a tartar,” and they are finding it out.
If Rev. H. M. Turner can’t fill the Post-office
at Macon, his Ainighlo spouse showed a disposi
tion to let the public understand that she was
connected with one who possessed the confi
dence of the administration, and therefore en
titled to ride in a first class car. Well, I think
Turner, after having enjoyed a full share of the
attention of the press, may now be allowed to
repose in quiet and go to seed. His name will
soon bo known no more in print. Par Fois.
Southern Buyers in New York.—Tho New
York Mail, alluding to the extensive prepara
tions of tho merchants of that city for tho fall
trade, says: “It is a singular and suggestive
fact that the only bnyers in our market who, as
a class, havo an abundance of ready money,
arc those who come from the South—a r<^ion
so long associated in our minds with the waste
and desolation of war, and with an unconstract-
ed condition of business and productive indus
try, that it seems odd to meet men from there who
are actually “flush” with the proceeds of South
ern products. The fact, however, is as unde
niable as it is cheerful. The Southern people
have learned economy by the hardest of experi
ences. They have been taught to raise their
own breadstuffs; to manufacture largely the
coarser qualities of clothing; to keep ont of
debt, and to ‘live within themselves.” Is it
strange that now, after two of the most valuable
cotton crops ever gathered, they should be com
paratively rich and supplied with ready money,
and be found in our market, not asking, as of
old, for long credit, but seeking the best terms
for ‘cashdown?' ”
The Cincinnati Commercial has a correspon
dent at Washington who has been forecasting
the next United States Senate. He thinks it
probable that the trades-unionists and anti
prohibitionists will get control of the Massa
chusetts Legislature and elect Colonel Greene
Democrat, to the Senate in place of Wilson •
that neither Anthony nor Cragin will be re
elected ; that Sidney Clarke is likely to come
from Kansas in place of Ross : that Login has
the best chance to succeed Yates; that Judge
Moses, of the State Supreme Court, will succeed
Robertson, of South Carolina; and that Jesse
D. Bright is the coming man from Kentucky.
A New York paper writes: “Dr. Bellows says
that Powers, the sculptor, blow3 out his candle
when he retires for the night This can hardly
be meant as a “puff” for Powers, although it
does come from a “Bellows.”
A Panama letter states that Frank Ward, son-
in-law of Win. B. Astor, jumped overboard
from the steamer Sicramento, near San Jose,
and was drowned. The cause of the deed was
mortification at not being able to pay the wine
bill that he ran up on the steamer.
From Marietta.
From the Journal of Friday we collect the fol
lowing :
Homicide at Ringgold.—W. B. Whitmore,
Revenue Officer, shot and killed a man near
Ringgold, named Deadman, a whisky distiller,
who attempted to escape from arrest Whit
more was arrested. Mob rumors are connected
with the report, bat we have nothing reliable.
The Concord Manufacturing Comp ant
recently commenced operations with a capital
of $20,000. It is now about to enlarge it to
$100,000. The Factory is turning out good
woolen fabrics and is controlled by men in whose
hands success Is beyond a doubt"
Several gentlemen from Southern Georgia who
arefprospectingfor settlement in our midst are ex
pressing their appreciation of our many natural
advantages in tho most gratifying manner. For
Marietta, they said, we needed nothing to ren
der it the most beautiful and desirable of locali
ties but a little more enterprise among our peo
ple in building np schools and extending our
hotel accommodations.
Thomas C’arlyle Swears that We are
Going to Hell-
From* Mr. RipUtfe LctUr i» tho Tribune ]
The condition of America was descanted on
by Mr. Carlyle in terms less remarkable for
flattery than force. “As sure as the Lord
reigns,” »Aid he. “you are rushing down to
hell with desperate velocity. The scum of the
world has got possession of your country, and
nothing can save you from the devil's clutches.
Not, perhaps,” cried he. raising his voice to its
shrillest notes, “a hell burning with material
fire and brimstone, but the wide weltering chaos
of corruption in high places, and the misrule of
the people. A fino republic that! England
follows in the train, and is even now on the
brink of the infernal precipice—and hell be
low.” Of course I could make no reply to
these “prophetic sound so full of ■woe,” but
waited in serene silence for the tempest to pass
orer. _
.irrarnsno Eitkxoedisakt.—The eccentri
cities of advertising are always interesting study.
Just ns we hear that one of the managers of New
York has engaged n man to advertise his estab-
ment by writing with chalk on the sidewalks—
which may bo considered a return to first prin
ciples—we have an instance c-f tho value which
advertising facilities have gained. The postmas
ter of New York, having several applications
for the use of the fence ronnd the City Hall
Park, while the postoffioo is building, advertised
for bids. There were over a dozen offers, rang
ing all the way from three hundred dollars, for
the privilege of posting bills on the fence for
two y.-.ir-i. to fifu-1-n thons-ir-d dollars for the
same right. Tho highest bid was accepted, and
the lessees will lay out the fence into lota and
arrange a graduated scale cf prices, according
to location. Owners of fences and dead walls
in general must not expect to be at once enrich
ed by tho lease of the bill-sticking privilege.
foT this fifteen thousand dollar triangle is an ex
ceptional bit of fence, in the busiest place, in
the busiest city in the country. The amount of
space covered by the contract is twelve hundred
feet long by ten feet high.
Tax ScxaxTos Houoa—The Herald de
scribes the shaft of Avondale mine which was
the scene of the late horror casualty as follows:
The fire began at ten o’clock this morning (the
Gth.) All reports agree it mnst have com
municated from the ventillating furnace to the
wood-work at the bottom of the shaft,
which is 827 feet below the surface. The
flames then rushed with great violence up
tho shaft and broke out in the engine room
at tho top. The engineer barely escaped
with his life. The buildings covering the
month of the shaft were 100 feet high and
200 feet long, all of wood and dry tinder. They
were almost instantly enveloped in flames, and
it was impossible to reach tho month of the
shaft to help the men below.
New Yobs Postoffice.—Work on the new
postoffico for the city of New York has advanced
to such an extent that the proposed change of
site is no longer talked of, and is not desired by
the government. The excavation has reached a
depth of twenty-five feet, and the work of laying
the concrete foundation bed and building the
sustaining wall has been begun. The stone is
all hanled and nearly all the earth is carted away
at night in OTder to prevent a blockade of the
streets. Once a month dnring the progress of
the work a photograph of the scene will be sent
to the supervising architect of the government
at Washington, .who will thus be enabled at a
glance and with tolerable clearness to discern
how much has been accomplished daring the
preceding thirty days.
Ratlhoad Tax vie.—The increase of travel, as
shown by the crowded trains, under the half
fare system, tends to demonstrate that high
charges have operated as a serious embargo on
the people. If railroads can make more money
at half than whole price, can’t hotels do the
same thing ? We think the reason is stronger,
because thousands who are obliged to pay rail
road fare carry their cold provisions with them
on account of the enormous charge of $1.00
for ordinary meals.—Cuthbert Appeal.
A Spaniard has invented a very curious ap
pliance for securing motive power. Tho con
trivance, as described in the last Scientific
American, consists of a diko along the sea-shore
where the waves break with force. The dike
presents an inclined plane toward the sea. When
a large wave comes in it is carried up this in
clined plane by its own force, and when at
its greatest height is carried by sluice-ways
through to the interior, -where is a reservoir to
receive it. From this reservoir it runs in a
steady stream, supplying a mill, and finding its
way after that back to the sea. The American
says it is used succcsssnlly in Cuba.
“ Weil, farmer, you told us your woods was
a good place for hunting; now, we’ve tramped

“Just so. Well, I calculate, as a general thing,

have.”
Sxooxs says there is a marked difference be
tween birds nnd women. As an illustration of
this, he cites the fact that a bit of looking-glass
on a fruit tree will frighten away every bird that
approaches it, while the same article would at
tract more fair ones than a load of cherries.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
IT having been asserted that we havo made no BRATTLEBORO BUGGIES since the war, we here state
in connection with the above Circular, and we ask our old friends and customers to remember it—that though
sadly demoralized by the war, we still live, and are trying to get “reconstructed.” To this end we removed
our burine.** in April. 1867, to New Haven, Connecticut., and since that time have been constantly engaged
in the manufacture of our specialty, the well known BRATTLEBORO BUGGY.
Mr. \V. A. UV'r F i* our Agent ai d has the exclusive sale of our work in M iron, (1ft. If you want a genu
ine ASA MILLER. BRATTLEBORO BUGGY, go to Mr. IIUFF, and he will supply you. If you want an
imitation go elsewhere.
