THE TELEGRAPH. BY CLISBY * REID. TSLtOlAFB ItCILDIXC, C0U1I emir * SXCOXD ITS. SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT. 18, 18C9. Me. A. H. Yaeeixoton in oar general Travel ing Agent, authorized to transact any business or nn. “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. TheCawef BraHetta fiffer. We are slow to lift oar voice against the exer- rise of the divine prerogative of mercy, but fetl strongly lmprn—rd with the opinion that the oaee of this woman was one in which the law should hare been allowed to take its course.

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.

Secretary Executive Department. 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.

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. [Prest. 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.” Pint culture—match-making.
