The question in Cotton-making lies in a nut
shell. It is simply, how to produce the greatest
valne with the least outlay? When, therefore,
our correspondent “W. G. L.” supposes we are
amusing ourselves and the public with mere
fancy farming, impracticable as a rale or sys
tem. and which looks as its result to great pro
ducts which may be “gassed over," bnt cost
more than they come to, and are worthless in
their teachings and suggestions so fAr as the
sober business of cotton-gTowiDg in Georgia is
concerned, he mistakes the point entirely. He
is equally mistaken in his comparative estimate
of results. An acre such as ho allndes to, will
outyield more than eight to a dozen average
acres in Georgia, La, of four acres to the bale,
while the actual labor of culture, in a systemat
ic way, wocld not be more than one to two, ar.d

The Columbus Enquirer of Saturday says :
The most unfavorable reports of the cotton

have certainly made great ravages in some parts
of that State. The following extract of a letter

yet seen: “The cotton in Middle Florida is

ing groHn in behalf of the Sonth:
There arc now throe million bales of cotton
growing ia the Southern States, and there is not
labor enough in that section to pick it. It is
estimated that the average price will be at lenat
twenty-five cents a pound. This is abundantly
compensating. All persons who desire employ
ment from now nntil January next, will find it
in the South, at the very best wages. The New
York Herald says that "the whole population
should turn ont to gather this important crop.”
Let Mr. Forney bo easy. Unfortunately for

too much for 1 great agricultural lesson of the day. And what | atones or minerals and foosils to be found in any

agriculture. A poor crop to the acre is loss—a
fair crop is compensation—in a big crop alone lie
the profits. That is the story of outside modem
farming in few words; and the fact that we, in
the Sonth, can do moderately well even on poor
crops, is due simply to our cheap labor and the
superior value of our products.
Wo look upon the experiment in deep tillage,

The special correspondent of the Now York
Times, of the 8th, narrates t\ conversation with
the President, which, if true, as we suppose it*
is, should put an end to the reporta that tho
President is with the Moderadoes in Mississippi
and Texas, or anywhere else. Tho Times says;
President Grant, in a recent conversation, ex
pressed the opinion that Jndge Dent would not
bo nominated in Mississippi. He was severe in
condemnation of tho entire, so-called conserva
tive movement, not only in Mississippi, bnt in
Texas, and disavowed ul sympathy with those
engaged in it. as well as with their views or ob
jects. The President hopes that Davis will bo
elected in Texas. Ho has information to the
I l'. i t tint bir.-e nuuiborsof the RmoboMBB
who were at first inclined to support Hamilton,
arc falling away from that gentleman, and will
support las opponent, Mr. Davis.
V dispatch to the New York World, of the
10th, says:
The delegates to tho Convention which nom
inated Judge Dent unanimously on yesterday
for Governor, declare that his election will be
almost ns unanimons ns his nomination was on
yesterday. The Conservatives will sweep the
State for Governor and Ooagrtm, oven if the
Administration throws ils weight ngninst him.

Low.—The Chattahoochee river is now said
to t.e lower thnn at any time since 183G, when a
gentleman of Columbus jumped across it. Al
though it is now fordable in many places, wo
think it would reqniro rather long legs to ac
complish this feat.
Sickness.—We lenrn that there are largo num
bers of cases of sickness ou tho Western bank
of the Chattahoochee river, extending from
Browncville to Girard. These cases are mostly
chills ami fever and billons fever. Several
deaths m that vicinity of late.
The Columbus cotton receipts to and includ

had been shipped. Received to September 12th

it is now before the commissioners in behalf of

The Chkistxax Index.—Mr. Toon, publish
er of this sterling old religions journal, gives
notice that he will add a monthly eight page
supplement, full of choice literary and domestic
reading to subscribers without additional cost,
called " The Happy Home.” The first number
of this supplement will appear early in October.
Parties wishing to subscribe to the Index wil
address J. J. Toon, Atlanta.
Cotton in South C.uiolina.—A friend writes
us ou the line of tho railway route through
South Carolina on the 11th:
"The cotton looks smUl and dying. It fairly
looks black. We have just passed a field with -
out a boll, and, in fact, where there is cotton
they do not seem to bep icking it."
The western press telegrams say tho return
of tho Rawlins' funeral procession was much
disturbed by a negro fight in Washington, 200
combatants engaged. Tho blacks in Washing

ple jnst how they msy defy the effects of any
probable drought in this section. What lesson
can be more valuable than that ? and how much
should it reasonably enhance the valne and esti
mation of theso lands ?
We confess to have acquired an altogether
new and profound respect for these old bald red
fields in the light of this experiment. What a
doleful aspect -they present, as, worn ont and
ridged and gullied, they are turned ont to rained
enclosures, stunted pines, 'persimmons, and
broom sedge ? They are fit representatives of
the ghost of departed values.
Bat the depth of red day is great and it
abonnds all through in the elements of fertility.
Pat in the plongh deep—subsoil in the farrows
—get yon a semper and fill up all theso unsight
ly gullies and washes—put on a generous con
tribution of superphosphates—checkoff your
laud and plant in hills, three feet by six—keep
your soil bgbt and spongy all the time with a
subsoil lifter, even to its lowest subsoil depth—
ploughing both ways and increasing your dis
tance as the brafiching cotton warns yon to keep I
dear of it, and there you have a crop almost in
dependent of “seasons” so technically termed.
Now, when wo think of the vast area of these
abandoned old red-clay fields in Georgia, who
will undertake to compute tho value of an idea
which, in its practical application, will make
them the best cotton lands of the Sonth—sure of
producing heavy crops from year to year?
What is it worth to old Monroe, or Houston, or
Baldwin, or any other of the red-day oonnties ?
If we conld transport one of them to Great
Britain, with its dimate, too, it conld probably
be sold out at five hundred pounds the acre be
fore sundown, and it would be made to produco
two or three bales to the aero ever there! fter.
But are we to suppose that the three thousand
miles which intervene are going to reduce that
value to a cypher? Not so! The necessities of
the world must bring the labor and capital here
instead of carrying tho land there. We shall
probably have plenty of English agriculturists
in tho Sonth before long, cultivating cotton for
the mannfacturerR, and the localities where
crops are least liable to casualties and health
most seenre, will be the regions where they will
operate. Let ns not for one moment suppose
that the American cotton crop can be long kept
down to present dimensions.
A word in conclusion upon the idea that fer
tilizers have been active agents in pnodudng
disease and rust. The philosophy of the matter
wo taka to be this: the gnaco or phosphates were
applied in the drill, and so long as seasonable
rains fell, the plant grew rapidly, with a sappy
luxuriant formation. By and by, however, three
unfavorable conditions mot it.

A Resident or JIncon Snccessfolly
Treated Tor Consumption, by Dr.
James A. Ilnnter.
Macon, Ga., September 11, 1869.
Nearly five years since, I placed myself under
Dr. Hnnter'8 care, and adopted his system of
treatment for diseases of the longs, at which
time I was very low with consumption, so low,
indeed, that both myself and friends were hope
less of my recovery. I had used many rem
edies prescribed by my family and other physi
cians whom I consulted, without obtaining any
thing more than mere palliation of my symp
toms, which were very distressing. I was
emaciated and feeble—unable to read more
than a few paragraphs without exhaustion, and
suffered night and day from harrassing cough,
profuse night-sweats, and burning hectic fever.
I used Dr. Hunter's treatment for a period of
five months, and steadily improved from tho
very outset. My distressing symptoms disap
peared, and I rapidly gained flesh andstrength,
nntil I presented an appearance of robust
health, which has remained good during the
intervening period of nearly five years. I be
lieve I owe the preservation of my life and the
good health I have since and still enjoy, solely
to Dr. Hunter's efforts, and trust that those
who consult him during his visit to Macon will
be as much benefit!od by his treatment as 1
havo been. ^ J. R. Horaces,

ture. had become thoroughly dried and ceased
to convey any moisture to the roots. 3. As
moisture is the grand medium of conveying nu- I
trition to the roots of the plant, literal starva
tion ensued, the effect of which was more appar
ent and more distressing upon those plants
which had previously made the most vigorous
progress under the impulsive influence of
the fertilizers and the rains which had ena
bled them readily to appropriate the food
furnished by the manures. They probably
fainted and failed more rapidly than the
starveling plants which never had any manure
and had taken only a slow and woody growth.
■^This theory strikes us as reasonable. The
New Testament tells us that the good seed per
ished in the scorching sun “because it had no
depth of root, and that is the whole story of
deep culture.
The moral is plain. Those who skim over the
surface and pUint fgr space will find the fertiliz
ers beneficial only when rains are sufficient: and
it is a question whether it is worth their while
to spend their money for fertilizers and take the
risk. The man who uses manures should plough
deep—subsoil, and keep his land light and
spongy, and then he will get his money s worth
and more too. The two systems—skimming and
deep culture—are before the people, and they
can't be well mixed. The difference is as be
tween blooded horses and runts. The one is
hurricanes, revolving on their own axes as well
as moving northward. Now, on Monday night
we received by telegraph information that a very
severe storm was raging at New Orleans; on
Wednesday it stormed here, bnt not severely.
The same afternoon a most violent storm swept
over the eastern portion of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts. If this be one of the great storms
which the Redfield theory would account for, it
is probable that it followed the Gulf stream as
far as Cape Hatteras, there a portion or all of it
veered to' the westward far enough to sweep
oyer a portion of Eistern New England, but not
far enough to wreak its fury upon points farther
vrestwarcL If such be the case, it is feared that
there have been serious times among the vessels
which crossed the track at the storm at sea, and
possibly some serious disasters.
Spanish Warfare.—Dr. Simmons, lately re
turned to New York from Cuba, says :
The Cuban army has on three different occa
sions drawn its lines close around Puerto Prin
cipe. When about to make an attack, which
must have been successful, the Spanish com
mander has at the bayonet’s point sent all the
Cuban Isdies and children in dense crowds to
the van of the Spanish garrison. These inno
cents each time have been pushed by hundreds
to places of danger, to stand as shields before
the hirelings of Spain and Cuban volunteers.
Quesada, for humanity’s sake, has withdrawn
from the attack. Dr. Simmons says that the
utter wretchedness caused the wives, children
and sisters of the Cubans by the hellish conduct
of unprincipled Spanish officers and soldiers
is beyond all description. They mean to fill the
trenches with murdered women and children
before the city shall be surrendered to the revo
lutionists.
