“The Nentli In Clover.”
Under thin head the New Tork Commercial
Advertiaer, in the course of a long editorial,
Airakenn the suspicion that there are a good
many Southern men in New York just now who
arc given to that popular amusement called
oassiko. He say", “Southern men who are vis
iting the city just now," assure him that “the
crop is immense”—that “they are getting rich
faster than any people in the world.” An in
telligent Southwestern man, "not giten to exag
geration," (oh, no!)says “Louisiana is xenma
with sugar, and Mississippi is white with cot
ton !” and that “tho yield of rice in Louisiana
will be larger and finer than was over before
gathered."
Upon this agreeable information, making due
allowance for the “provincial disposition” to
talk big, the Advertiser moralizes extensively
upon the fortunate consequences of the war
and the “discipline which hasbronght the South
erner to honor labor,” as if moro labor was done
in the South now than before tho war, when
thore is only a little more than half as much.
Gentlemen who visit New York for the pur
pose of extending their credit, may perhaps bo
excused for swelling a little—but they should do
it in moderation, and not at the cost of the pro
ducers of the meager crops which unfortunate
ly are all we con boast of this year.
Is it not better to tell the truth ? Tho pro
ductive power of the South has been cut down
by the war for the abolition of slavery ono half,
and we are getting along on that half only be-
oause the world is compelled by famino to pay
ns more for it than they did for the whole be
fore the war.
But nevertheless tho South as a farming coun
try is in a doleful condition. Not one-fifth of
her cloared lands are under cultivation, and di
lapidation and ruin aro the principal aspects of
many of the farms that are cultivated. Missis
sippi, wo dare say, is ten times greener with
rank weeds than she is whito with cotton, and
tumble down houses and mined fences mark
the very spots which were the theatres of her
choicest cotton crops before tho war.
Tho South is not far off—let the Commercial
Advertiser come downhore and see the “clover,”
and then crow over the achievements of eman
cipation in this quarter.
The Nhnm Democracy and the XVOi
Amendment—The Cntoutof the Rag!
The Macon TrxEcnAnr admits that, “under
the Constitution," tho colored members “are as
much entitled to seats in tho Legislature ns any
body, nnd that reseating them, in accordance
with the Snpremo Court decision, will be an act
of no practical evil, so far ns tho Stato is con
cerned,” “But,” says this Democratic organ,
“when yon come to the Fifteenth Amendment,
and ask us to blot out tho independence of tho
Ktatc. • • * it will re it be dole- with mir o,n-
sent.”
Practically, then, the position of the Tele-
nmrn is this: In Georgia, negroesshonld vote
and hold offico upon precisely the same footing
as other citizens; whilst in Pennsylvania nnd
Ohio, they shonld do neither, because that
would be to “blot ont the independence of the
States!" In Georgia, negroes shonld be our
legislators; but in Pennsylvania and Ohio,
whore they are generally better educated, and
therefore know more of the duties and respon
sibilities of citizenship, they should not be per
mitted even to vote! • * *
This, then, is “Democratic” sincerity, as ex
emplified by a journal which we had given cred
it for sounder and more practical views of states
manship. AVhen will the old partisan fossils of
a past epoch learn wisdom from experience ?
The editor of tho Tni.riir.Arii has, quite uncon
sciously, let the cat out of the bag; nnd wo offer
this as sn additional reason why the provisions
of tho Fourteenth Amendment shonld be en
forced, ns stated in our editorial of yesterday.
[Atlanta Nev> Bra.
Georgia finds herself nnder n Constitution
which guarantees negro suffrage and, (nnder the
decision of the Supremo Court,) negro offico
bolding. Therefore, overy man who acknowl
edges that plain and unwelcome fact should be
willing to amond tho Constitution of tho United
States so as to give Congress power to determine
who shall and shall not be citizens of the several
States. What sort of a conclusion is that from
the premises! Tho New Era, shonld have moro
mercy on common sense than that conies to.
Mb. White, an extonsivo planter from Pnlas-
ki county, called upon ns yesterday to report
the result of his observations of Mr. Gnstin's
cotton patch. He Bays it is tho finost piece of
cotton he ever saw—perfectly healthy and
abounding in fruit, flowers and forms—the bolls
being extraordinary largo. He thinks there are
about threo quarters of an acre in the patch,
nnd that it will produce at tho rate of four hun
dred pounds of seed cotton to the aero. He is
devoted to the system of surface culture, and
thinks the result is due less to deep culture than
to tho superphosphate applied, and remarked
than in hia observation of the comparative ef
fects of Soluble Pacific and Superphosphate, he
had seen an equal difference in favor of the Su
perphosphate that there was between Soluble
Pacific and no fertilizer at all.
Ctthbekt AoRicLXTcaAn Society.—Wo have
a letter from A. Hood, Esq., imparting the in
formation that the Cutkbert Agricultural Soci
ety have determined to encamp on the Fair
Ground, during the State Fair, and asking us
to have a suitable location assured them and
staked off. The matter shall be referred at
once to the proper officers, and good quarters
secured for Cuthbert.
Tbotbled with Money.—Forney's Press, of
the 14th instant, says:
The Southern planters are already discussing
the question what to do with the immense sur
plus profits to be realized from the cotton crop.
Wo have seen some discussion of that subject
by Southern editors, but have not yet met with
a single planter harrassed by doubts about bow
he shall dispose of his “immense surplus pro
fits."
Heavy Cotton Operations.—Eight hundred
and eleven bales of cotton were sold in Macon
yesterday, and. we rejoice to say, on an im
proving market. An advance of one cent was
established during the day. The receipts also
were heavy, and amounted to six hundred and
forty boles.
Homicide.—The Eufanla papers, of Thurs-
day, say that an altercation occurred on Tues
day last, near that city, between Mr. Jacob
Palmer and Mr. Jno. Grubbs, in which the lat
ter drew a revolver and commenced firing.
Three of the shots took effect upon Mr. P., and
proved fatal in about a half hour. No reliable
particulars given by either paper.
At the earnest solicitation of the public. Dr.
Hunter will remain in Macon one month longer,
and can be consulted at hia office, No. 70 Mul
berry street, upon all diseases of the Head,
Throat and Cheat, including Chronio Catarrh]
Chronic Sore Throat, Bronchitis, Asthma, and
Consumption, to which doss of diseases he de
votes hisattention exclusively.
What is Rust and its Cause and Cube.—The
reader will find a very intelligent disquisition
upon these points in this edition of the Telx-
niirs.

Tho relative strength and age of the parties
preclude tho idea of ft struggle, and no such de
fence was ever set np by tho woman. As for
prejudice in the community standing in the way
of a fair and impartial trial, although the char
acter of the homicide was such as to provoke a
natural indignation,it was simply impossible that
the Court or the jury should have refused a fair
and impartial trial to such a defendant. There
was that in her ignorance and mental degradation
and imbecility to have rendered a vindictive
prosecution impossible in any enlightened com
munity.
As there was no room for a doubt, reasonable
or unreasonable, about the commission of the
crime by the accused, so from first to Inst she
has never affected to deny it or set up any de
fence wkrtover, other than that she wanted tho
money and killed the child to obtain it. It was
a case which the best counsel in Christendom
eonld have made nothing more or less of. And
os to inexperienced counsel, her leading counsel
was L. N. Whittle, ono of our ablest barristers,
assisted by John P. Fort, a young but well in
formed lawyer.
The mental imbecility of this miserable crea
ture seems to us tho only plea in the procla
mation possessing force. We have never seen
her, bnt the city editor of this paper held along
conversation with her on the evening before the
day appointed for her execution, and when all,
including herself, oxpected sho would be hung
in less than twenty-four hours. Ho came away
so impressed with the utter stupidity of the wo
man that his first expression to the writer was
that “it was a shame to hang her.” Sho mani-
festedjan entire absence of remorse or pity or
fear, or sensibility of any sort, and seemed to
be in fset bnt a very small remove from a brute.

justice mar be done, I, Rufcs B.Ballock, Governor and
Commander-in-chief of the Army and Nett of this
State end of the Militia thereof, by virtue of thepower
and authority to me vested by the Cons: Ration and

Albany Cotton Market.
Albany, September 16, 1869.
Bat very little has been done since our last
report in sales. The deolines have come so
heavy and in snch rapid succession that buyers
have almost entirely abandoned the market.
Receipts have also fallen off from what was ex
pected. Planters are content to gather the crop
and wait farther developments—being satisfied
of n short crop, they havo wisely determined
for onco to hold and tako the chances for higher
prices. We omit quotations.

The Cotton Crop ol Last Year.
Speculating upon tho difference in tho esti
mate of the Shipping List and its own, the
Charleston Courier says :
In our issuo of Tuesday, wo alluded to the
crop statement of the New York Shipping and
Commercial List, and said there were seeming
discrepancies in its figures. We have since ex
amined it moro minutely, and find it has made
coming year by a wise and timely foresight in
the premises. It is not too late oven now to
raise on land well enriched a good crop of ruta
baga turnips, which are excellent to fatten
stock. A portion of the oat crop too should bo
sowed this fall, and tho remainder in January,
to insure either an early or late crop.
Pastures of rye and barley also should be
fenced off and laid down in due season, or at
least all hill sides beginning to wash should be
a distinction between the cotton shipped to Eu- ; devoted to that purpose. It will save the land
ropean nnd Northern markets and that consumed and pay better than any other crop.
in the Southern States, by ignoring entirely in
the summing up of its general table tho amount
consumed in tho Southern States. In other
words, it makes the “ total crop of the United
States" for tho year ending August 31, 18CD,
2,260,537 bales, which includes only such cotton
as has been shipped to Northern and European
ports, omitting the amount put down for South
ern consumption, (173,000 bales,) which, added
to the 2,260,557 bales sent to Northern and Eu
ropean markets, would givo a total of 2,433,537
bales. We are at a loss to conjecture why the
Shipping List has exclnded the Southern con
sumption from its general estimate of the crop,
whilst in another table it gives th9 “approximate
growths of cotton” for a series of years, in round
numbers, making tbo groieth of tho year I860,
2,414,000 bales.
The Trial of Shuremau.
The Washington dispatches to the Herald, of
tho 14th, say:
The Criminal Conrt to-day took up the case
of James H. A. Shoreman, indicted for remov
ing papers from the Treasury; in having, on
the 29th day of April, 1S67, taken eighty papers
printed and stamped, and in part prepared to be
issued on behslf of the United States, as circu
lating notes of the First National Bank, Jersey
City, each of the denomination of $100, and
also eighty papers of the same, each of the de
nomination of fifty dollars. Counsel for the
prisoner asked a postponement of the case, and
presented an affidavit of the accused that an
important witness, H. M. Turner, is absent in
Georgia, * and that Mrs, Elizabeth Johnson,
another important witness, is too sick to be
present. The District Attorney, Mr. Carring
ton, with some warmth, argued that the affidavit
did not comply with the requirements of the
statute, adding that they (the prosecution) ex
pected to prove the witness Turner was really
partieeps eriminis.
Jnnge Fisher said that as the case had been
pending now for eighteen months he considered
this proposed evidence should be inquired into.
In answer to Judge Fisher, the accused said he
has reason to believe that Turner will testify
the indent!cal notes or papers were taken by
another party. The case was adjourned nil
Monday.
Tennessee Pomoloot.—The Nashville Union
and American speaks of a single grapevine on
the premises of Mr. E. D. Payne, in South
Nashville, which contains three thousand bunches
of grapes! It is of the Catawba variety.
The same paper has the following upon Ten
nessee apples :
Thos. Gartland brought to our office yester
day evening eight varieties of apples, which are
the finest specimens we have seen this season.
They were grown in the orchard of John Hord
ing, near Stone's river. The sample before us
measures sixteen inches in circumference, and
on an average weigh eighteen ounces each. A
package of the aforesaid will be Bent to the
homological Convention, which convenes the
present week in Philadelphia
It is reported in Boston that Mrs. Stowe is so
overcome by the unexpected reoeption of her
article on Lord Byron, that she is quite ilL
Domestic afflictions and grief are assigned as
the cause of her imprudence in publishing the
article.
In addition, let fall crops of millet be planted
and highly manured next spring, and a fewacres
of early peas, which are fully equal to com when
ripe, for mules. These precautions with tho
proper economy in dealing out winter food and
provender to stock, will make us independent of
the West another season for supplies.
Without them, the condition of the planter
will be pitiable indeed.
True, we have been blessed with a fair yield
of com in Southwest Georgia, but who does not
know that enough was not planted for tho wants
of our own people ?
We do earnestly trust therefore, that, tho
above remarks may be heeded and receive a
practical application.
The Drought in Virginia.
The telegrams to the Louisville Courier-
Journal have the following upon the drought in
Virginia:
A letter from Louisa county, Virginia, gives
a gloomy account of the effects of the recent
drought which still continues. It is believed
that the crop of com this year will average
from one-third to one-fourth of the usual quan
tity made on the land. The land has been bo
dry that very little if any fallowing has been
done. Some farmers will begin to cut tobacco
this week. The best judges say that the tobacco
crop this year will be of a very inferior quality,
and in quantity will be but little more than one-
third of what was made last year. Many farm
ers who planted from 15,000 to 20,000 plants
last spring will not make more than an average
of one hundred pounds per acre.
A good many negro men near the line of
Spottsylvania and Louisa counties, finding that
the farmers can give them no employment, aro
leaving the country and going to Fredericksburg
and Warrenton. The negroes are beginning to
fear that there will not be aDy work for them
next year. Many farmers do not expect to em
ploy hands next year, as they will not have pro
visions to feed them. A majority of the creek
mills in Louisa and Spottsylvania are dried up.
Recently, in New York. General Bnmside
picked up an injured laboring man, bathed his
bead, and then raft for a doctor, and all this
without betraying hia rank, and acting all the
while in a modest and unpretending manner.

We hope General Burnside will, after a time,
become so accustomed to a “modest and unpre
tending” demeanor that the Radical newspapers
will not find occasion for a paragraph when he
assumes it
A Heavy Gold Operation.
The New York Tribune of the 15th, says edi
torially :
“We are credibly informed that certain finan
ciers of our city, in combination with some
European capitalists, have conspired to buy and
withdraw from use thirty millions of gold with
the intent to compel those who must pay gold
at the custom-house to buy of them at exorbi
tant rates. We call upon the Secretary of the
Treasury to lake the needful steps to ascertain
the facts, and if there be snch a combination to
use the power lodged in his bands as the public
good may require.”
