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 GEORGIA STATE FAIR.

The caterpillars have certainly made great ravages in some parts of that State. The following extract of a letter from Jacksonville, 7th instant, to the Savannah News, contains the worst report that we have yet seen: “The cotton in Middle Florida is nearly a complete wreck, and from Gainesville Department of Agriculture ; two hundred vol umes from the Department of the Interior, upon the order of Hon.

If his plongh will accom plish, with one mole, what a heavy plough will do with two—that is, thoroughly disintegrate the soil to a requisite depth—it ia the very plough needed. It is foolish for planters to sneer at town farm ing and vioe versa. What we all need ia prac tical and profitable ideas—no matter where they come from. The fact is, the mass of improve ments in modern agriculture, both in Europe and America, have come from so-called town farmers—that is, from merchants and men of Mr. Gove. This office is at all times open to receive on exhibition or for sale all specimens of seeds, implements and machines, which are immedi ately or indirectly connected with progressive agriculture or with the comfort and ornament of cultivated homes. All producers, manufac turers and inventors are invited to forward them to this office—freight paid. Mr. Stevens, of Baldwin county, has deposited in this office for examination, specimens of pipes for drainage of all sizes, from 1 to 15 I i iTjufces in diameter, also specimens of fire brick, j Parties may examine and leave orders. As it is intended to connect with the office not only a museum of all implements, machines and new inventions, but also specimens of all the ores and minerals of the State, the members of State Agricultural Society and of the County Acricultural Societies, are requested to bring with them to the Fair, if not a specimen of every stone or mineral in their county, at least, one or two of the most interesting. Mining companies are requested to furnish a good speci men of the ores in which they are operating and a specimen of the metal smelted or Extracted therefrom. A ten dollar premium will bo given to the County Agricultural Society or individual which vigor promised. The crop is coming freely to market, but this is due, not to a redundant crop bat to two other causes, one of them indicative of a short crop, viz: first, good price the staple is now commanding; and, second, the prema ture opening of the bolls, forced by drouth and rust.

That “ The Sc.'iroily of Labor.** Forney's Philadelphia Press nttor* the follow* 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.

And what | atones or minerals and foosils to be found in any I ia that lesson? It may be put in few words, and thus stated: Liberal an 1 thorough tillage nnd*m,'inuring is the whole s.-cret < f pr -.Ue 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 course of which we have followed with great care this season, as of immense value to the people of Georgia. It practically solves the question of crop losses from drought. It cer- jvriaw A2>ITX3a.TISSnTEWTS 6BO. B. TURPIN. J.

Will you please explain to your renders the facts and circumstances under which the industrial power of the South became so disastrously crippled ? Tlic President <>:« Texas aud .Hissla- sll>I»i. 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. t oliimtins News. The Sun has tho following: 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 ing the 10th, footed up 1414 bales of which 916 had been shipped. Received to September 12th last year 733. Market was depressed by scarci ty of money. Home Bnunlh—We are indebted to the President for a copy of the fifteenth annnal re port of this roml. It makes a fine showing Gross earnings $70,575—expenses $37,919 ; net earnings S38,65Bt assets $2(12,929; liabilities outside of capital stock $12,0SG. That is very neut. CoL Cothran, speaking of tho transfer of the road to the State as a branch of tho Western A" Atlantic, says a proposition has been made to sell for three hundred Thousand dollars and ngrecd to by a majority of the stockholders and it is now before the commissioners in behalf of the State. 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 ton seem to be an amiable set—an extremely valuable population. Doubtless selected by the Radicals to display the .usabilities of tho race. Balance on Wrong Imde.—The Journal of Commerce makes this stowing of the commerce of the United States, for the year endiDg 30th last Jnne : The amount of merchuadise ported, gold value, wa: Amount of specie imported... Total of imports $437,020 541 To meet the liabilities for these imports there was exported or shipped abroad : Domestic produce, in g >ld value, to the amount of.... Foreign produce... Specie red clay lands in Georgia, and shows the peo 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. one county. A premium of ten dollars will be given to any individual or County Agricultural Society which shall bring the greatest variety of wood from any one county—the samples to be in sections, sawed vertically to the grain, showing the annu lar rings or annual growth of each tree, and of I from one to fonr inch— la thickness, aossedfag to the diameter of the sample—each sample to have the bark on it; the object being to ascer tain bow many kinds of woody growths there are in the State and the varieties*of each. At the suggestion of members and correspond ents, the following additional premiums are of fered: For the fastest angle harness horse— trotting 1 910 00 For the fastest pair harness horses—trot- (Open to the world.) For the best hotse-oolUr, for plongh and wagon $10 00 For the fastest single harness horse- open to the world :... 10 00 For the fastest pair harness horses—open to the world 20 00 All the above premiums to be subject to the approval of the Executive Committee. The notico given in the premium list is here repeated, that all articles of merit, of whatever kind, will be carefully examined and reported upon, evon if not mentioned or provided for in the regular published list. If an individual has an article to exhibit which he may suppose to be excluded because the published list confines the premium to Geor gia nised or Georgia manufacturers, still let him or them enter for a premium, for under the regulations, if the most meritorious, the article will receive a premium.

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.

The earth being disinte grated only to the depth of three, or four, or five or six inches, and may be, afterwards, partially solidified nnder the process of mere surface cul 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.
