The im- • petus given to the market by the attempt of some bears to cover, started the upward move- ] ment with such rapidity that a crowd of brokers , and speculators, rushing into the gold room, soon jammed both the room itself and passages leading to it with a frantic crowd, almost breath- j less with anxiety.

If ho wishes to raise fine tomatoes, or consideration of all Georgian*. It is “muUum turnips, or cabbages, or beets, he ban got to I in p i/TO.” It would be difficult to condense keep his soil mellowed to the bottom. 'When! more liberal and enlightened views and practi- j cabbages are beginning to head the one thing cal suggestions and more important statiscal needfni is to spado deep all aronnd them and facts in loss space. First, it considers the-grand | r^ke the earth as friable as possible—and he does this without lacerating tho roots of the plants. Nor, in the case of the cotton patch al luded to were the roots laoerated; bat by keep ing the swingle-tree dear of the cotton limbs or branches ail that dreadful catastrophe was avoid ed. On the other hand, without deep culture the soil of the patch, however deeply broken in tho Spring, would have impacted nearly as hard as ever during the cropping season. ^ And as for the yield, a little patch constantly and closely picked cannot be white with cotton; bnt two experienced planters from Pnlaaki gave it as their opinion, that it would yield daring the season at the rate of 4,000 pounds of seed cotton to the acre, while the bolls are so large that it is fonnd that sixty-five of them produce a pound of seed cotton. The fibre ia also of corresponding fineness and length. Now, let ns understand the point at issue.— There is mneh—very mach of the soil of Geor gia to which deep culture may not be so essen tial. We have much of a loose, sandy soil which does not readily impact and which, brok en np thoroughly in the Spring will remain com paratively light and friable till cropping is That soil may readily fulfil all its func tions pretty well with surface culture, although it would do them better with at least one good lifting as the cotton begins to branch smartly. Bat, on the other hand, there are onr fine red clay soils, which, we think, are on the whole the most valuable in the State. That foil will impact again in a comparatively short time af ter breaking np, and mere surface culture will leave it in no favorable condition to convey to the roots of the plants the air and moisture nec essary to their vigorous development Mr. Guslln’s Cotton I’ntcli. Editor* Telegraph: Mneh hss been said about this little cotton patch, and very deserv edly, for it demonstrates one very important principle in agriculture—deep preparation of the soiL Mr. Gnstin misplaces the grand secret of success in this pstch—if indeed it be a sac- when ho refers it to the deep cultivation. To my mind, from all the descriptions given, it is far leas the cultivation than the preparation and firtUuation at the soil that make this patch look so fine nnder the dronght that has prevailed this season. I like to ee» things referred to their proper sources; and certainly the progress of agricul ture requires compliance with this motto. Facts shonld be properly accredited—not distorted to the support of fancy theories. In the esse be fore na there is nothing to s ns tain the proposi tion that deep culture made tho crop, bat suffi cient reason for believing that the crop was made despite the deep cultivation. Mr. Gnstin started right in making his land rioh and breaking it very deep ; and in these very steps consist the whole secret. The deep collate did not promote, bnt only retarded, the growth and production of the plant. The crop wcnld have been mneh better had the system of surface cultivation been adopted. It wonld have matured earlier, and a large crop of cotton would already have been open—ready for pick ing. Every time yon cat the roots of a plant yon arrest its growth, and every root yon cat in jures the plant in proportion. Nature never pnta forth a root that ia not nec essary for the support of tho plant Most of the lateral roots in Mr. Go*tin’s patch most have been cut every time he ploughed it, for he as serts that he cultivated abont as deep as ho pro- pared the land, which he savs was about 20 ? * “ —>u say, Mr. Editor, that question of wbnt ought to be the policy of tho State Road, more especially in reference to tho development of the great material and industri al interests of Georgia; and we ars sure that, upon this point, the intelligent reader will be pleased with the breadth, liberality and sound- ness of the view s suggested sad tho policy in part carried out by Colonel Halbert. Next wo have, in startling array, the immi nent dangers which menaco the profitable exis tence of this great property of tho State, and suggestions in detail of countervailing remedies which will put the road npon a secure and indo- pendent footing in virtue of a permanent, self, created trade. This address is the result of much thought and patient investigation, and treats of topics trauscendcntiy important to tho State and the pcopl<-. It has no oth-r political bearing than the best method of preserving, administering and u«ing a great State property for the beat in terests of the Slate, and it presents, in a forci ble light, topics which must come before tho hicgislatnro for their deliberation and action un less they are willing to soe that groat proporty interest, tho Western and Atlantic road, sunk into practical worthlessness for tho lackof timely action to supply losses of business inevitable on account of competing lines. Improving. The Mncon Tr.t.zoxrn apologises for the spe cial invitation sent to Beast Butler to attend tho Macon Fair. It says Batler was invited as a Congressman, nnd not as a man. Might it not bo said, also, by way of apology for the infa mous doeds committed by him in the South and upon Southern pooplo, that they were merely committed in his character of Heart, and not as tiifi'in ’—AllfVStO Chronicle and Sentinel of the 23d inrt. Tho Micox Tsunami had no concern in inviliug General Butler, and did not, therefore, apologise for tho net. The Teuxobaph, however, explained that tho invitation resulted probably from tho general orders of tho Executive Com mittee to invite tho Membors of Congress—or ders given withont any recollection that General Butler was one of them or with the slightest de sign to extend tho invitation to him, and that it was, in fact, a “ mere inadvertence. This ex planation ia perverted and distorted in manner form ns above, by the Chronicle and Sentinel. Again, in response to anothor paragraph hav ing the samo general objeet, wo beg leave to as sure tho Chronicle that the President of tho Central is commonly termed in Macon “ Gen. Wadley”—not in respect to sny local good or evil ho may purpose or accomplish for this place, but simply becauso the Confederate States conferred that title npon him, and not the rank and title of Colonel, as the Republican and Chronicle and Sentinel suppose. Tho Mill’ll I*olnt. The events of tho last few years havo strength- ened tho conviction of sagacious observers that the South is destined in futnre, as in the past, tobothn greatsonrceof tho world's supply of this . isasatial article, alnoe there is scarcely a limit to its production in that field, nnder a liberal application of capital and an adequate supply of labor, which, it may be taken for granted, will be found olsowhero.’ In viow of the constantly tightening hold which cotton has upon commerce, there is everywhere a manifest disposition to make a concerted and determined effort to re cover the ground which was lost daring the hellion. There are several important elements in this problem, which constitute a strong in- c-entive to the rehabilitation of the great staple. Tho foregoiDg is from the New York Shipping nnd Commercial List of the 18th, nnd ia a con cession assuring the whole fnture of the South. The cotton supplies of tho world mast come from Southern soil, and if one kind of labor is inefficient or insufficient, another or more is compelled to be had. The work most go on— the crop must bo increased far beyond its high est original dimensions, and this settled fact as sures us progress and improvement—increased populat ion—increased value of lands—increased wealth. As onr cotton product increases nnd prices fall, the decline will bo chocked by the falling off in the foreign supply until fin all}’, t we believe, the Southern States will acquiro complete monopoly in cotton production. inches. Yet ‘the I’uliiAin county Fulr. We advertise to-day tho list of preminms to be awarded at tho Fair in Putnam county, which commences tho 2d day of November next. This will be a lively occasion, nnd, wo have no donbt, a complete success in every aspect. Tho show will Is 1 a large one nnd all the appointments very complete. Putnam deserves great credit for the persistent energy she has displayed in these exhibitions nnd in all the enterprises of an improved agriculture. Gold Gambling.—Wo are inclined to believe that there is a mistake in tho reported gold quo tations at tho morning board yesterday. If so, tho evening report, when it comes, will rectify it. Bnt if gold jumped down, in a quarter of an hour, from 162 to 136 and a fraction, the Gov ernment had probably stepped in as a bear and floored the speculators. The Government has or had about two millions gold in Now York, and was in pfime condition to slaughter tho gold hulls. There was fearful bellowing yesterday, if the report is true. Burned to Death.—Three negroes were swal lowed up in a terrible conflagration now raging in the dismal swamp. They were employed there, and the fire surrounded them while asleep in a hut and burned them to a crisp. Heavy Fluctuation—Tho noon dispatches say at 12 m. yesterday gold was 162. Fifteon minutes later it fell to 1364. If there's no mis take in the figures we should call that a heavy fluctuation in the course of fifteen minutes. Rain at Last.—We had a fine rain yesterday and the chances for quantum suff. of the article are now very good. The Northern mail failed yesterday.

The agricultural report states, regarding corn, that unices the dose of the season is very favor able, there must be one hundred and fifty millions labels leas than a fall crop. Regarding cotton the report says there will be a redaction in the yield of cotton from the Carolines to Alabama, and a material increase from Missis sippi to Texas. Georgia, Florida and South Caro lina havo suffered moat, mainly from dronght, and in a few localities from rust, the caterpillar and boll worm. Onr estimates make the increase in Missis sippi, Louisiana and Texas, respectively, ten, twelve and fourteen per cent. The probabilities at present favor a yield of two millions seven hundred and fifty thousand bales. The wheat crop ia large and the quality in the South decidedly superior. Nothing certain is known regarding the Cabinet. Texas waa np, and it ia stated on quite reliable au thority, that the determination was reached to throw the Executive influence in favor of Davis, the ex treme candidate for Governor. In furtherance of this policy, J. G. Tracy, Chairman of the Republi can Executive Committee, has been appointed Post master at Houston, and Swanty Palm, Postmaster at Austin. It is stated on the same authority, (quite good,) that other Federal officers opposing Davis, will be removed. It is worthy of notice that while the above items ore throat into the hands of reporters, other actions of the Cabinet is carefully one-fourth to one-half per cent, on several runs > of stock, bnt on tho high price stock one per I cent, was the rate. 2TLSW AEVERTISEMEX.-TS PUTNAM COUNTY AGRICULTURAL FAIR!

Certainly not during the season of cul tivation, for the “ subsoil lifter" must have tom them np every time it went along. These roots innst have sprung forth, then, subsequent to tho last ploughing: Consequently, tho lateness of the crop and tho green, luxuriant appearance of the patch tho middlo of September, when it ought to havo been white as snow with tho “fleecy staple.” I consider this patch a failure, Mr. Editor, because of tho gouging, root-cutting culture. It is not what it ought to be with tho fertilizers used. It is too lato. The October frosts will catch it The eery liberal application of Gus- tin’s Rawbono Superphosphate, together with the deep breaking and subsoiling of the land, fully explains all that is claimed for this patch. Had it been cultivated differently, tho early and lato roots of tho cotton allowed to penetrate this deeply pulverised and rich soil, without moles tation, tho crop wonld havo been far better, and Mr. Gnstin would havo been enjoying a better reputation as a scientific agriculturist He compounds an excellent fertilizer, bnt ho can not pnrnp it into cotton bolls like Mr. Dickson. His subsoil lifter won’t compare with tho Dick son sweep; and his far-famed little cotton patch I apprehend, will never whiten with cotton bolls like Dickson’s hundred aero fields. J. S. D. Houston eohnty, September 22, 1869. Homicide in Donghcrty. 1Ye have, says tho Albany News of tho 21th, to chronicle another ono of those horrible out rages incident to freedom and the abnse of the pardoning power. Mr. J. W. Jaudon, son-in-law of Mr. Dyke, of this county, and the manager on his plantation a few miles below this city, was stabbed and in stantly killed on Tuesday evening last by Joe Smith, a colored employee on the place. The circumstances, as we learn them, show fiendish malice and a murderous purpose in tho heart of the negro. It is said that tho negro has, on some recent occasion, been detected in cotton-stealing, bnt was not prosecuted, and continued the practice. Mr. Jaudon found out that he was stealing Mr. Dyke’s cotton, and selling it to a man by the name of Holcome, who keeps a shop in the neighborhood. He went to seo Holcombe, who told him that he had been baying cotton from Joe. Mr. Jaudon informed him that Joe was stealing the cotton, and requested him to buy no more from him. Tuesday evening, when the negroes came np with the day's picking to the ginhouse, Joe made some remark to Mr. Jaudon abont the ac cusation of cotton stealing. Mr. Jaudon told him that he had been stealing Mr. Dyke's cot ton and threatened him with prosecution. Joe told him that he was a “ damned liar," and leap ing from the wagon dared him to come down off the platform. Mr. Jaudon went down and ap proached Joe, who was cursing and abusing him. A few words passed and they got hold of each other, when Joe plunged a knife into his heart and he died almost instantaneously. Joe fled, and though the country has been sconred for him, he has not been arrested. He is a tall, stout, yellow negro, and bears a had character. Mr. Jandon was a young man abont twenty- eight, and leaves a young wife, but no children.

Tlic New York Gold and Stock Panic. The Western press dispatches give the follow ing report of scenes in Wall street cn Wednes day: The scenes and excitement on the stock ex change and in the gold room to-day bring vivid ly to the minds of old speculators the stirring times in Wall street during the palmy days of the rebellion. In the morniDg the chief events were a panic in railroad shares, depression in governments, demoralization of foreign ex change, stringency in money and the gold mar ket. Amid the surrounding depression the principal centre of all motion early in the day was the lower hall of the stock exchange, which presented a tumultuous assemblage of excited and anxions brokers, yelling in the most frantic maimer, all eager to sell stocks and save them selves from being wiped out along with their customers’ margin. The slaughter of the public by the large decline of the day was great, and has completely wiped from the snrface of Wall street an array of small speculators on the bull side of the market. As the day wore on the excitement and activ ity in the stock market died out, and compart rive quiet and dullness reigned on stock ex change. Throughout the afternoon, in the long room, stock experienced fitful rallies and there was considerable recovery from the lower prices of the morning, more especially in Vanderbilt’s stock, but an unsettled feeling prevailed and purchases went largely to recover short con tracts, the bull element being severely crippled by heavy losses consequent in the decline of the past few days. Brokers are beginning to be alarmed for their remaining margins, and as to the difficulty of carrying stocks, in view of the money stringency and the increasing want of confidence. In the afternoon the excitement was transferred to the gold room, and here re curred the scenes which equalled those conse quent on the recent illness of the Emperor Napoleon. In the morning the panic on Stock Exchange | induced a perfect flood of short sales which only I caused a decline of per cent.
