BJUert Telegraph: On my xrriral in New
York mb* two w#el “ ,ilce i the city vu pro-
jjoiijed mmioally doll, though in the eyes of
to.*) much accustomed to the quiet of our
towns, the appellation seemed pecu-
^j, .appropriate. Since that time, howerer,
■fuhionabl* New York" has begun to return
(to,, its summer wanderings, and the streets
jj,, begun to assume .their metropolitan air.
It is tn>*> the milliners and dry goods princes
ksssnotyetbad their “fall openings," nor has
tbetity yet donned it* gay winter garb in which
,, ippeefi so peculiarly charming to the stranger;
Tf , tb. signs of the summer dullness are fast
Jinppsaring, the change being apparent even
u the inexperienced eye of your correspondent.
y.cr Southern people have already sought
tbeir far-off homes, after leasing all their “spare
euj," behind them, though not a few still linger
.t this, (the Fifth Avenue,) and the St. Nicholas
Hotels Almost the entire company which one
month tgo, was assembled at the “White Sul
phur Kprings," seems to have found ita way to
Kev York, and the familiar faces whieh one con-
i,.pdy meets, forcibly reminds him of his re-
rrutcharming visit to that “Saratogaof the
Sooth"
1 will not, in this unsolicited favor, (?) trespass
upon your time by attempting descriptions of
ybee* sad things, which have been before ao
‘tun described by your correspondents, and
iritoeeoed by your renders, but will oonflne my
all to giving some account of the amusements
sow offered to the Metropolitan pnblio. Aa the
•tundsooe upon the muaical entertainments
forma one of the chief attractions to the visitor
tan, I hope the aqiject may not be nninterest-
^The “ballet” has almost entirely disappeared
from the Now York stage, and, for the present,
the eye of the lover of the “spectacular drama,”
is it modestly styles itself, can only be gratified
at the “Tammany,” where a monstrous mass of
sonaente is nightly gone through with in order
. to (tire employment to the ballet girls who once
nhibited themselves with such eclat in the
"Black Crook" and “White Fawn." Why it
baa thus disappeared is to me a mystery nnfuth-
ouable, for as long aa it reigned at Niblo’a and
the Olympic its popularity knew no bonnda; and
eren now ita diminished glory nightly fills one
of tho largest theatres in the city. But fashion
able Sew Y’ork baa deserted it, and, for the
tine, it ia to all appearances dead. Aa tho age,
kowfrer, seems decidedly progressive in de
pravity, may wo not fear that ita plaoe will be
tiled by something more reprehensible ?
This question was partly suggested by the
thought that a substitute has already been pro
duced at “Niblo’a Garden,” the former temple
of tho “nudo drama,” wUch baa awakened a
lengthy diacnaaion among moralists.' I refer to
Roucioault’s now play “Formosa," whieh has
recently appeared in London, and almost aJmul-
t.neoualy in New York, and with great peeuni-
ery success. To prononnee devoid of merit a
piny which receives the practical endorsement
of nightly crowded honeee, may ba regarded aa
presnniptnons, and to criticize as shallow a pro
duction of the gifted and popular Bonoicanlt,
may be prononnoed heretical, bnt such never
theless must be my judgment. Merit it cer
tainly possesses, if merit it can be called, to
appeal to the lower classes of society against
the upper—to exposo in the moet glaring man
ner the vices of the rich in order to excuse the
leas refined, bnt not lea heinous vices of the
poor. The antbor avows it to be bis objeot to
deter from vice by exposing its enormity. In
this he must moet signally fail. It is far more
likely to allnre to ruin by ita fascinations than
to deter from danger by ita warnings.
The plsy is certainly deficient in literary
merit, nnd wofnlly shallow as regards dramat-
to interest. Tbongh lea offonsive to tho eve
•y« than “Blaok Crook,” I cannot see that its
successor “Formoh*” is far behind in its bane
ful influence on tho morality of tho community.
The only really first chua piece of acting now
on tho New York boards, is Jefferson's "Rip
Lin Winkle," So many have undertaken to
describe tho wonderful effect which this play
produces nnd hsve as often failed to convey any
■dequate idea of the power of delineation whieh
is evinced in every movement of the actor's
countenance, and every modulation of hia in
comparably sweet voice, that I will not attempt
a like description.
The one peculiarity about hia acting which at
tract* me more than all else, ia the exceeding
quiet which rans through tho whole. No rant
ing, no mad gesticulation or fiery declamation.
All is calm and perfectly natural, nnd yon feel
although yon were in the immediate presence
of the veritable “Rip." The play is better put
upon the boards than ever before, the scenery
neing truly magnificent—contributing in no
misll degree to the pleasure of the audience.—
Miss Bateman succeeds Jefferson at Booth’s
theatre on Monday noxt, when abo appears a*
"Lesh" a character in which she has acquired
her greatest reputation. I liope she may prove
herself worthy so able a predecessor ns dear old
“Rip.”
On last Friday evening Edwin Booth appear
ed at the “Aeademy of Music,” in tho charac
ter of “Iago." The occasion was that of a
, benefit to the family of a deceased actor, and
>■ »* were consequently not favored with a repe
tition. Aa Iago, Booth is grand—almost per-
wt; indeed, I may say altogether perfect in
appreciation and delineation of tins most
difficult of Shapespearc's characters; bnt he
failed in making himself heard, which was a
•ore disappointment to those who were so un
fortunate as to be beyond the reach of his voice.
Thia was in some measure owing to the nature
of the building, which is ill-adapted for a thea-
tre, being intended alone for musical entertain-
^ Eor example : Txxob——“ Unloose mv
hand. ” Bass—“ What for V Tenor—“There's
ftomething in my eye.” This may all be very
fine in Italian, when most of the audience would
only understand the music : but when sung in
English the absurdity of the thing certainly de
tracts from oar enjoyment of the music.
** of music, I may mention that the
fall season has opened at moat of the fashion
able churches, and the music at some of them
cannot be* surpassed even on the stage. The
^oirs are, most of them, heavily salaried—the
J at Dr. Ewer’s church, which is only a quar
tette, requiring $3000 per annum to support it.
The Sunday afternoon exhibitions given, by the
choir at St. Stephen’s Church are truly grand,
and large crowds attend them, just as they do
tho opera. The only apparent difference be
tween these services and the opera is, that the
former is in a church and the latter in a theatre;
r ~r the whole service is a choral, and the music
of the same class as wo hear at the opera. I
—n an advocate of fine music in our churches;
but I do not believe in making the House of
God a concert hall. Revolting as this custom
appears, it is certainly not more liable to be held
op for the condemnation of the Christian world
than is the custom which prevails among tho
fashionablo churches of this city, of closing
their doors during tho summer, just as the the
atres do, and opening tho “season” Again in the
fall. I am happy in the thought that our South
ern people are not yet so far advanced in civili
zation.
I cannot close this letter without mentioning
the important fact that President Grant took a
rido in Central Park a few days since. Not
having tho opportunities possessed by the
World reporter, I am sorry I cannot inform
you how many cigars ho smoked daring the
ride. I hope to be able to inform you in my
next. “Rep Van Wunnjc.”
Mr. McCulloch’s “ Othello” was good—in
•ouie parts excellent. lie has evidently studied
»nd not altogether without success.—
With this one exoeption the New YoTkers hnve
been for some months without the Shakspeareon

immediate revival.

From Crawford County.
The Terrible Drought and Dietreee—Crops—
Chinamen—Superior Court.
Kxoxvmuu, Ga., Sept. 17, 1869.
Editors Telegraph : The drought yet contin
ue*. We have had no rain sinoe July. All veg
etation is dying—the streams are drying np—
the wells are failing great difficulty in getting
grain gronnd at the mills. No pastures, no pea-
crop—potato crop very poor. The forward com
ia abont an average crop—late crop entirely cut
off. Cotton crop will be all soon opened. As
no ootton was made in tbe cotton month, August,
Crawford county will not yield one-half it prom
ised on the 10th day of July. The river farms
have suffered worse thin any portion of the
county. As to tho manures used, some few aro
of opinion they have been benefitted; others
ay not so—that it will not pay, a the ootton
factor always controls the price of cotton nntil
the merchant’s drafts are liquidated; and aa long
u they pursue thia snieidal course, they and
their children must be tbe hewers of wood and
drawers of water, and they are murmuring to
themselves, etc.
■ We are like your Fort Valley correspondent,
we are opposed to tht) Chinaman. We are by him,
like an aged divino that we have beard of once,
when be was considered to be by bis medical
attendants almost beyond recovery with ady
namic fever, one of his brother preachers ap
proached bis bedside and uked him how it
would be with him should he make bis exit from
thia world, what wonld ba hia promised hopes
in another world ? His reply was that be knew
the people in this and be did not know them in
the other world, so he preferred holding on here
a while longer. I am much of his opinion aa
regards John Chinaman and tha nsgro. I know
the negro will steal my shanghais, kill my pigs
and eat thorn, bnt that is an instinct in his ner
vous system that cannot be eradicated; bnt with
all these foibles I like him; be ia useful. I
know his ways, and he knows mine. I was
raised with him, and he with me. When tbe
white man's blood is not mixed with his, he is
easily controlled, docile in his nature. He is
not fit for a mechanic, bnt exactly suited for
the oorn and ootton fields. They don't remem
ber malioe, aa a general thing. History does
not teach or inform ns of snob a people. John
Chinaman might not treat my children as well
as Aunt Itottio or Uncle Bob does.
Our Superior Court vu held here last week,
Judge Cole presiding; one man tried for mnle
stealing. His Honor informed him by hia aen-
tenoe upon bim, that tbe way of the transgres
sor waa hard. Evil doers stand a poor showing
before him. Well done thou good and faithful
servant. Judge Cole—wo lovo nnd respect yon.
We noticed that many of Georgia's ablest bar
risters woro T—It aeemstUat several weal

Wa clip the following items from tho Atlanta
Constitution; .
Ynx at Jokxsbobo.—Wo learn that the ware
house of T. Byrne, at Jonesboro, with fifty-eight
bales of cotton, was consumed by fire on-yester
day. When tho train passed by at noon, the
fire was still raging.
Oid Dzkalb Ahead.—Dr. G. K. Hamilton,
of Stone Mountain, informs ua of the birth of a
male child in DeKaib county, a few nights sinco,
twenty-six inches aronnd, and weighing fifteen
pounds. Both boy aad.notbar an doing vralL
Resioxkd.—Engene Davis has resigned the
position of private secretary of Governor Bol
lock. nnd will return to New York to his “first
love”—reporting for the press. H. C. Corson,
of New Y'ork, has been appointed to the position
occupied by Mr. Davis.
Madison.—Tho town of Madison is rapidly
recovering from the effects of the late disastrous
fire. There are now fourteen elegant houses in
process of erection, and Phcenixdike, Madison
will rise from tho ashes of desolation with
greater magnificence than ever before attained
by it
A Cute Thick.—Wo learn that, ono day last
week, an individual residing on the line of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad, had the misfor
tune to lose a calf. He regretted the loss so
much that ho took the body of the calf and laid
it across the track. The freight train ran over
it. Tbe conductor stopped to examine it, and
found it cold already. The trick didn't win.
Heaetixss Wbetches.—Wo leam that some
unknown parties have of late, on several occa
sions, placed rails, cross-ties and even iron rails
across the track of the Macon and Western rail
road abont forty miles from this city. The
heartless wretches, if caught, should be severely
punished.
Sms and the United States.—The English
papers continue to discuss the affairs of Spain
nnd the United States. They assume that this
Government has concluded to recognize Cuba
as a belligerent, and find in that fact the defeat
of all our claims for damages by the Alabama.
It is also stated, that a war with Spain would be
long nnd costly; onr commerce wonld be de-
stoyed; onr debt increased, and Ihe result
wonld not be worth the means employed. It is
added, "there is still ground for hope that
peace may be preserved. ” Undoubtedly. The
talk of war is all on the other side, nnd to most
people here the idea that any war is imminent
is a novelty. The London papers are belabor
ing a phantom.
The London Star says that the Spanish Gov
ernment is about to issue a proclamation guar
anteeing freedom of election, and of religion to
Cuba. It adds, if reports are true, a merciful
treatment of the Cubans is a necessary prelim
inary.
A Single lucifer match factory in this country
is credited with using in a year 720.000 feet of
the best clear pine: 400.000 feet of basswood
for boxes, 400 barrels of sulphur. 0600 pounds
of phosphorus. It also '.ses weekly four tons
of pasteboard, t'.OOU pouno.) of paper, for small

To tho Sheriff or kit hateful Deputy <ff Bilb County :
W*b**as, At the Mar Term.A.D..l*69, of the Supe
rior Court held in and for the county of Bibb, Henriet
ta Greer waa tried for and convicted of the crime of mur
der. anJ waa therefor sentenced by the Judge presid
ing at raid Court, to be hanged by the neek until dead
on tho23d d*y of Jnly thereafter; nnd
Weiiias, The laid Henrietta Greer har been re
prieved nntil tho 17th day of September instant, upon
the representation of her attorney and other respecta
ble citizen* and to the end that tho teitimony. facts
and circumstances produced upon her trial, might re
ceive a thorough and careful investigation; and
Whkbcas. Upon exominstion of the record in said
ease it appear* that the testimony ggsinst the con
demned was wholly circumstantial, and that her con
viction was founded upon her own confessions, which
confessions, when taken together, are contradictory
and evince the influence of fear nnd mental imbecili
ty: and
WBKtKia. The perfect social intimacy of the con
demned with the deceased, precluded the idea of any
malice aforethought, and moet conclusively shows that
the blows which resulted in death, were strrzek In the
heat of passion; and
Wiiirk a«. It has been made known to me that the
condemned was brought to trial when the public mind
was much excited, the pressure of pnblio opinion for
conviction was great, and in addition to the fact that
the counsel appointed to defend the said Henrietta
Gregr at tho time of her trial, is said to hare been
young and inexperienced, and failed to present the
evidence in its proper bearing to the jury;
Now, therefore, in consideration of the ficts and
circumstances aforetaid, and to the end that impartial
justice may bedonepl. Rufus B.BulIock,Govcrnorand
Commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy of this
State and of the Militia thereof, by virtue of the power
and authority in me vested by tbe Constitution and
Laws of this State, do hereby commute the said sen
tence of capital punishment so passed upon the said
Henrietta Greer as aforesaid, to imprisonment in the
Penitentiary of this State for and during her natural
life, and it is hereby
Ozdzkxd, Th*ttbe principal Keeper of said Peni
