CASH THE TELEGRAPH. B7 CLISBY Sc REID. TILS0R4PH HUILOI*©, On*HE* CH«*tT * SECOND «m. THURSDAY MORNING. OCT. 7, 1869. Me. A. II. Yabrixotow is our general Travel ing Agent, authorized to transact any boainen* for ns. _ Oaifalde < onlrnXa First Paoe —Weekly Reanroe of Foreign Af fair*—The Putnam County Fair—Hon. Jaa. A. Niabet. Fourth Paoe.—A Singular Case.—A Horrid and Ominous Disoovery—Mr. Peabody. No t ensor. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel is unjust to us when it saya: The Telegraph seta itself up aa not onlv the authorized c^DA«»r of the Press of th^ State, but actually asanraes the right of dictating to the people its own peculiar views as to their social relations, obligations and condnct We deny the right of the Telegraph to speak in either capacity. I» is true its Editor was made Presi dent of the Press meeting which assembled in Atlanta on the 23d of August, but with the ad journment of that lx»dy his office terminated His ru-ht to dictate to the people of the Stste the rule which shall regulate their intercourse has even less foundation. We entertain no personal unkindness toward the Tflfobaph or its editor, and we ceitainly should not h ve alluded to the course of that paper if it had not made such a sweeping and unjust charge against aII the papers in the State which differ from it in regard to State and Fed eral policy and politics We have not the slightest desire to obtrude our views upon contemporaries or toeriticise the condnct of their own journals, or to call in ques tion the motives which actuate them. We have aII along stood simply on the defensive against such attacks upon ourselves. The “dictation" to people upon their “social relations, obliga tions nnd conduct"—if any has been attempted or practiced, obviously originated in the criti cism upon the invitations of the Executive Com mittee to the Fair. That Committee is not, as seems to be supposed, a hfcicon committee, bnt a committee of numerous gentlemen from nil parts of the State Although in no way respon sible for their action, yet approving it in the main, how can our attitude of simple defence of the committee be perverted into dictation and censorship ? How can our efforts to vindicate Ourselves from the charges of servility andtrnck- ling nnd toadyism be charged as dictation to others? Certainly we are not muddying the waters, or playing wolf at the stream. As to the Chronicle's allusion to the official position of the writer, we have only to say that as it was quite unsought by ns, so wo are ready to relinquish it on the first opportunity. Finally, the Chronicle and Sentinel gives ns a trne and genuine touch of tho dictator in tho following: t When the TF.LEor.Arn ceases to be a representa tive of trne Southern sentiment it should no longer assume to be the organ of that sentiment. The only complaint which wo have heretofore made against that paper was that while it pre tended to be Democratic it was surely, if not in tentionally, working for tho snceess of R idical- ism. We give it credit for too ranch intelligence not to know that its coarse would lend, in the end, to the inevitable resnlt cf dividing the Deraocri i ic party in the State, and of strength ening the Radicals. The Tni.ronArn must bo permitted to exer cise its own judgment upon what is Southern and Democratic sentiment and may be held ex cused for entertaining far more confidence in tho correctness of its opinions on that snbject than in those of the Chronicle. It was a Demo cratic piper full half a centnry before the Chronicle and Sentinel, and wo donhtnot will be Democratic longer than that after the Chronicle and Sentinel has left the party. Radicalism, will live, flourish and grow fat on tho policy of the Chronicle and Sentinel—it will die oat speedily on that of the TeUHHUPII. .Hiii’ti k Iiirill Is mainifeatod by gentlemen of tho Executive Oommitteo with whom we have oonvemed. at tho b ickwnrdnt-ss of tho preparations for the State Fair, and thoy beg us e irnestly to call on the city authorities and the local committee by every consideration connected with the success of tho enterprise nud the honor of M tcon to arouse in time to save themselves. The race track ms to the fair is bnt a drop in tho bucket and nothing else has been touched. If necessa* ry put five hundred men to the work rather than be behindhand. Awake! Awake!! . Another Kxlra Train. If the President or the members of his Cab inet and other leading and influential gentlemen of the R ulioal party will visit the fair, we are qnito sure that no offensive or nnkind words will he uttered against them. We further be lievc tli it the members of Gen. Grant’s Cabinet nnd other offioi ils of the Government will be tendered a sja-cial train from Savannah, if they Qome by that route, hut we do not wish to see Bullock put forward as the representative of the State to receive them.—Chronicle and Sentinel, 6th. These guests, we presume, would be received by the managers of the Fair us the inviting party, just as would the guests of the other ex tra train. For the committee to refuse one train because it was tendered by Governor Bullock and accept another because it was tendered by the Central Railroad, would be a very partizm nnd invidious proceeding; and when the guests by each train arrived, they would intermingle at once. The President aud Cabinet would re cognize Gov. Bullock as Governor, aud, we dare say, the Chronicle aud Sentinel would have to be oa the watch nil the time, lest the Executive Committee and all the people should treat the passengers by both trains with indiscriminate civility and politeness. The Mission’ or Secretary Bourwell to Pennsylvania.—The telegrams yesterday duly reported the efforts of Secretary Bontwell to reach Philadelphia in the teeth of storms and high water, but left ns to conjecture an explan ation of the urgent demand upon Mr. Bontwell to go to Philadelphia. This is probably ac counted for by a special to the Charleston News, which says : The Hon. John Covode telegraphed that Sec retary Bontwell must go to Pennsylvania and spe.ik, or the campaign would fill. The Sec retary left the city at once, and speaks in Phil adelphia to-night. What is the master with the Pennsylvania campaign, and how happens it that nothing but a speech from Mr. Bontwell will save it from failure? Are the people excited about the op erations in the gold m irket ? Do they charge the kiting to the connivance or the lapse of Mr. Bontwell? Are they arftjry with him, and do they call loudly for explanation? It looks that wav. The Npeeial Train lor lit?! 1+d Gneaf*. The regular meeting of the Executive Com mittee of the State AgricaltnrAl Society takes place to*day, and they will doubtless consider and dispose of the proposition to send a special train for their invited guests. We have personally no interest whatever in the conclusion they may come to. It is true, the writer happened, by accident, to be the medinm of conveying the proposition to the Committee and the public, and verr honestly | believed that it was in furtherance of the gen eral policy of the Committee in inviting the i Northern guests, and. as such, would be accept- j able to the Committee. We had no conception that the tender of con- 1 veyance to their invited guests coaid possibly j make all this clamor, and change the entire character of the transaction from ono of cour tesy, honorable on the part of the Committee, to an act of servility and toadyism, which it has : come to be characterized. Nor can we now discover the slightest fonn- ‘ dation in reason for this marvellous transmuta tion If A invites a number of guests to dine at his bouse, and B makes a proposition, in a , spirit of liberal civility and mutual friendliness, j to transport these guests to A’s house, as neither of the parties happens to own a carriage, we j cannot comprehend the process of reasoning 1 which sbonld briDg A “to the conclusion that he i could not accept B’« proposition, withoat a compromise of personal dignity which would j change his hospitality to toadyism. But suppose B should make this proposition j in the presence of A and the invited guests, and A should thereupon indignantly decline it; does it no f put a new face entirely upon A’s invita- | lion? Did he honestly desire these guests to ! dine with him ? If so, by what right does he j intervene to deprive them of the advantages nnd facilities for going to the dinner offered by j B ? What inference can the guests draw from j such officious interference between themselves I and B. except that A’s invitation was insincere— that be either does not desire them to come, or, l.to say the least, is very indifferent whether they come or not ? Now this is precisely the case with the pro- I posed extra train. If it had been left to the j proposition dropped by the writer in one of his letters from the Press Excursion, and noth ing more said about it, no unsatisfactory angary could, perhaps, have been drawn from the fail ure of the committee to consider or accept the proposition. Bnt it became, of a sndden, the theme of much notice and denunciation by a portion of the Georgia pr^ss, and the attention of the whole country has been drawn to the sub ject The qnestion for tho Committee to consider, therefore, is upon what principles of a genuine and sincere act of courtesy, they shonld inter vene to debar their invited gneats of the conve nience of gratuitous and special transportion to the scene of hospitalities proffered by the com mittee ? We know of none whatever. On tho contrary, *.re cannot comprehend how, nnder the circum stances, a failnre to accept the transportion of fered, will not be liable to the interpretation that the committee are at least indifferent whether their invited Northern guests come or stay away. Snch action would not bo in the spirit of a genial, hearty hospitality, becoming the people of this or any other State. We are bonnd to assume that the Committee waut these their invited guests to come, and .that, in accordance with that disposition, they will cheerfnllv accept in their behalf every aid which will insure their coming, as woll ns every proffer of hospitality which will make their visit pleasant and comfortable. We bold, then, that the Committee shonld accept the proffer of the special train and send some of their nnmber with it to meet their guests, in a spirit of unreserved and cordial hospitality. We come now to a word abont the propriety of invitim? these Northern guests. It is on© of the most singular facts in jonrnslism, that of all the newspapers which have assailed the ex tra train with so mneb bitterness and contempt, not one. so far as we have noticed, has con demned the inviting of these guests! It is true same of the invitations have been denounced; bnt ns to the general propriety of inviting North ern people to come down and see us, nnd see the Fair, we have not observed that a single jonmsl has condemned it. But when you concede that the invitations are proper, everything in this connection is conced ed. because it is manifestly one of the plainest laws of hospitality that nothing conducive to the enjoyment of the guests, nnd within easy compass by the host or entertainer, can be law- fnlly omitted. If all the railroad shonld pro pose to bring all tho invited guest, without charge to them or to tho committee, it would manifestly bo an act of inhospitality in the latter to decline the proposition. Tho whole reason is therefore conceded when you concede that the committee did right in inviting Northern gnests. And what was, after all, the main reason which governed this body in extending these invitations ? It was one pertaining to tho vin dication of Georgia from aspersion and re proach. For four or five years it has been con stantly charged that Northern men are unsafe here—are persecuted—are rndely treated. That political and sectional persecution is rampant— that society is disordered —the people violent, intolerant, unfriendly and evil disposed; and upon these allegations is founded tho whole system of sectional and federal persecution from which we suffer. The design of the Committee in inviting large numbers of prominent Northern men to come down to Georgia and spend a considerable time here, on an occasion in which they could mingle with a vast number of onr people, and learn their feelings and opinions by personal intercourse, was conceived in wisdom and pa triotism. So the Committee were also anxious in this way to make known the material resources of the State—to invite immigration, investment nnd improvement, and finally to contribute in directly in every way to the inauguration of a better state of feeling, and through it to the es tablishment of the securities of good govern ment, law and order and the advancement of the best interests of Georgia and the Union.— Can it be necessary to defend so enlighted a policy ?—and when you concede its wisdom, you concede everything which his of late been made the snbject of an ill-timed and needless invective and clamor. Maeon and Aagvtfa Railroad. At the meeting of stockholders in Augusta on i the 4tb, the following gentlemen were elected ! Directors of the Macon and Augusta Railroad Company : H. F. Basse 11, W. E Jackson, John P. King. H Moore, W. J. McGrath, H. J. Lane, B. B. DeGraffenreid, Geo. S. Obear, G. H. Hazlehurst, W. H. Ross, J. T. Gardiner, S. D. Heard. At a subsequent meeting of the Board of Di rectors, Geo. H. Hazlehurst, Esq., of Macon, was elected President. The following were the reports of the Chief Engineer and Secretary and Treasurer : The contract recommended by that Conven tion was perfected soon after adjournment with Messrs. Geo. G. Hull & Co., and the work has been entered upon with vigor and dispatch. One thousand hands are now engaged on the grading, masonry, bridging and timber getting on the line of the road. Ono cATgo of one thousand tons of Iron rails were ordered immediately, and is now on its way from Europe, and may be expected to reach the port of Charleston at an early day. So soon as this cargo arrives the track-laying will at once be commenced at Milledgeville, and pushed up on the eight miles of graded road-bed south of that point. Active measures are being taken to complete the Ocmulgee Biver bridge at Macon at the earl iest day. with the purpose of starting track-lay ing at that end of the line. Under the arrangements made, it appears reasonable to suppose the contracts for comple tion will be folfilled in advance of the time stip ulated. The character of the work is generally heavy, the country being rugged and broken, in volving deep cuts and high embankments. The amount which has been expended on the grading since the commencement of the contract is some $75,000. It is gratifying to report the condition of the running portion of tho road between Warrenton and Milledgeville to be excellent. Heavy repairs have been made during the summer on trestle-works, new timbers having been substituted for all showing the least de- cay. The Oconee bridge has been covered, tinned and painted. Altogether the rood may be considered in first-rate condition. The statement of the earnings as presented I by the Georgia Railroad, now operating the J finished portion, from April 1st, 1888, for twelve months, show receipts of gross earnings of $45123.52. j The expenses of the same time were : Ordinary $39,883.85 Extraordinary (new depts) 7,481.62 NEW ADVERTISEMENTS Andy Johnson’s Chances.— A Washington dispatch in the Charleston News of Tuesday says a telegram from N ishville, received to-day, says that ex President Johnson is losing ground as a candidate for the United States Seuate.

It will, therefore, be seen that there has been a deficit of §3000 per month or 836.000 per annnm incurred by the year's operations. It was this showing that made -it apparent that something shonld be done, and that quickly, to save the road from ruin and the stockholders from the loss of every dollar of their investment. Tho extension of the line to Macon was the sole alternative, and this fortunately has been secured by tho con tract with Messrs. Geo. G. Hull & Co. I feel the utmost confidence that, upon com pletion of the road to its destination, we shall not only be able to meet the interest on the fnnded’debt of the company, but also pay a small dividend to stockholders. "With the natu ral increase of business and a return of prosper ity to the fine farming country traversed by the road, we may rest assured that dividends will constantly increase with the progress of the coming time. Apart from the profit whioh, as the shortest line between Augusts and Montgomery we shall derive by the transii of passengers and through mail and express business, I believe that the legitimate bnsiness between the two cities of Augusta and Macon, and the local traffic on our line will enable as to meet expeases and the in terest on the bonded debt of the Company.

Editors 1 elegraph : Oar crop prospects are pretty good, considering tho excessive drought- We are making plenty of corn. It is generally J as full a crop as the land will produce. We are making about a half a crop of cotton, where fer tilizers were used, and a very scanty crop indeed where hone was used. If guano was not so high we could do better. Wheal. The time is now close at hand when the sow ing of wheat ought to begin. Many planters in this part of “the moral vineyard," have been so often disappointed by failure of crop, that they hesitate and either sow too late and upon un prepared soil, or not at all. Well, we have been disappointed—sadly so this year—but the fault, in part at least, was in trusting too much to knowing freedmen, and not giving that personal attention which so important a crop demanded. At any rate, our motto is, “Try, try again.” We propose “first, to consider briefly," some of the main causes of failnre. Generally speak ing, instead of studying the snbject carefully, and selecting that soil best adapted to the pro duction of wheat, we cotton-worshippers select such as will produce the least cotton. This, we say, is too generally the case. At snch time as suits our convenieqces, we go into the field and commence seeding, amid corn-stalks, grass, weeds—everything that is left npon the ground after gathering the previous crop. Some of the grain is thus covered six. eight or ten inch es beneath the vegetable heap drawn up by the plow, some'is not covered at all, and the whole field is left with anything but an even surface. Instead of selecting seed best adapted to onr climate and soil, we take that easiest to obtain. We do not say this coarse is unicersnlly pur sued, but it is more the custom than any other. We add, also, that if any crop has to go without manure, it is the one. Is it sur prising, then, that we make but few good wheat crops ? Experience is a dear school, bnt having passed through it, let’s to the remedy. Select well drained land, away from creeks and branches, with good foundation, break up and fit your land for the reception of the seed before sowing. Give a good dressing of suitable ma nure, select good seed—that least subject to rust—and put it in the ground, leaving surface smoothe and nice for the young wheat when it snoots up. and the chances are good that a fair I crop will be the result. ' Wheat grown upon low, swampy land, is al most sure to rust: hence we say sow on the up lands. “Keep off the swamps.’’ was the advice given to ns, by an experienced thrasher, a good many years ago, as we were starting the first time' with a field thrash. We reiterate the same to those about to sow wheat.—SanderscUle Cen tral Georgian.
