TELEGRAPH. BY CLISBY 6c REID. TILMBAPB SCILDIVG. COUTBB CmiTA BBOOVD BTC. SUNDAY MORNING, OCT. 10,1869. Mr. A. II. Yarbinoton is our general Travel ing Agent, authorized to transact any business for us. Onfaldc C ontents. FrasT Page—Who are the Real Cotton Bears ? —False Rumors—The Suez Canal—The State Fair—Egyptian Cotton Growing. Fourth Paoe—A Financial Proposition from Senator Sprague—Letter of Father Hyacinthe. Who are Cotton Bears? Mr. Perkins, of Eufanla, makes a heavy on alanght on planters to>day for their suicidal pol icy in pressing their cotton on the market, so much in excess cf immediate demand—a policy which has already resulted in a loss of nearly fifty dollars a bale on opening prices. In cor roboration of these views a friend hands us the following extract from a private letter : I thoroughly understand the matter—know exactly the calculations of the speculators and ■pinners, and if the planters will only hold back their crops, the short sellers of cotton will be completely “cornered,” and will have to pay the price asked by the planters whatever that may be. Gold was in a simular condition recently when the “short sellers’’had to buy of those who owned the gold at 150 to ICO, and had it not been for the interposition of the govern ment, it would doubtless have went itilI high er and the owners of the gold would have made larger profits. If planters everywhere will icait and hold back their cotton, they can get 40 cents, very soon of those who havo sold short, and while prices are up there will be no government or third party that can step in and sell the market down. I am not directly interested in a pound of cotton, but you and my friends and every one in the South is interested in some way. Since the cotton season opened, the planters havo been playing (unintentionally) into the bands of Northern speculators who have made money by the decline, and are now preparing to make money by buying cotton when they think ii has touched t>oltom. I know this to be so, and now I hope the planters will inform themselves as to the true situation of affairs and will act for their own intereat. Saturday Sight, The weary laborer, whether physical or intel lectual, hails Saturday night with joy. His body is fagged—his mind wearied—his soul dis gusted with the turmoils and cares of life. He longs to retire from the sea of conflict to the snug harbor of the family circle, and if he be printer or editor of a daily newspaper, who has heard the clock striko tho wee sma hours of midnight overy night since Sunday, ho has double reason to hail the approach of the sacred day of rest and yearn for the sweet repose of body and mind, it should bring to every son of toiL llegiHler of Hie ( onfederafe I>C»d Interred in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond Virginia. We are indebted to some one for a copy of this work—a large pamphlet of 140 pn- ges which we will preserve for reference by all who may desire to see it. It contains about seven thousand names and is published by the Hollywood Memorial Association, composed of ladies, and wo presume may bo obtained by ad dressing Mrs. Dr. Bolton, Corresponding Secre tary* at Richmond. Railroad from Quincy to Ciiattahoociiee.— Private letters received from Florida, (says the Columbus Sun and Times), state that the work of building a railroad from Quincy to Chatta hoochee, a distance of twenty-two miles, has al ready been commenced, and will probably be finished in a few months. The completion of this short route will connect both Jacksonville and Savannah with tho boats on our river. It will serve ns a competing line to the Central, and thus always tend to redneo the freights on cotton and merchandise. It is said to be a shorter lino than the Atlantic and Gnlf, And one that cannot bo bought ont. Five hundred millions in gold, soys the New York Herald, was tho sum of tho Wall street sales of that terrible Friday. This amount of gold, upon a rough estimate, allowing sixteen dollars to an ounce, and sixteen ounces to the pound, and two thousand pounds to tho ton, and one ton to each cart, would require a thousand carts to move it; and allowing twenty feet to each horse and cart, the string of carts would be about eight miles long. No wonder Wall street collapsed. The Appeal says, a rumor prevails in Mem phis that the bondholder of New York are to enter the ring against the election of Andrew Johnson to the United States Senate. They charge him with being possessed of the deter mination to initiate the policy of nipudiation. and that generally ho is their open and avowed enemy and in opposition to their schemes. No doubt there will be lively times in Nashville this week. Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Rail road.—At a meeting in Newnan on the 7th inst. the following officers were unanimously elected for the ensuing year : A. J. White, President. Directors: 0.

The Storm.—The Northern papers are full of the doleful details of the storm which destroyed many million dollars worth of property. Thank God, we have not yet been forced to chronicle the ravages of the storm in the Sonth. Small-rox in Atlanta.—The Era learns from an intelligent physician that there are some cases of small-pox in Atlanta. While there is no need of alarm on the part of anybody, still it is advisable that the people be on their guard, and not run unnecessarily into danger. We are requested by Mr. A. T. Lyon, the popular photographic artist, to inform the citi zens of Perry and vicinity that he will visit them in a few days—making all styles o? pic tures known in the profession. Mr. Lyon’s work cannot be excelled in the State. The Storm.—The Northern'papers are full of the doleful details of the storm which destroyed many million dollars worth of property. Thank God we have not yet been forced to chronicle the ravages of the storm in the South. Opelika Grows.—The Locomotive says: Foundations for new buildings are being laid every day. Opelika is rising very rapidly from its ashes, and will soon be put up with the up permost. Good Crop.— Ambros Hodges, of Pine Bluff, Ark., has realized $1200 from the proceeds of six acres of broom corn in this season. Gen. George T. Anderson—“Old Tige,” as he was known in the army—is announced in the Constitution for Mayor of Atlanta. Gen. D. H. Hill is to reopen the North Caro lina Military Institute at Charlotte. Brigham Young calls the roll of his children •very morning at breakfast. When they are able .o put in an appearance, there are sixty-eight of l. rhem there to respond to the call. Historical Truth Vindicated. With the exercise of patience, historical truth in relation to the late war will be, to a large ex tent, vindicated by the Northern presses, in the coarse of their mutual contentions carried on in no direct design to do us justice. Thus we have, since the war, reprinted numerous admis sions by leading Radical papers and Statesmen, that the war originated in Northern impatience of slavery and a determination to uproot it; which is an indirect admission that it was on the part of South a war of self-defence.

H&nssman is not dead. « The Tenne««ee Senatorial Fight. A special to the Louisville Courier-Journal from Nashville tho Gth instant says: Tho fight for tho Senatorship is more exciting than ever. Johnson has his headquarters at the Maxwell House, the two finest rooms in tho es tablishment—the bridal chambers—being ap propriated to his use. He electioneers with as much vim and vigor as ho ever did in his palm iest days. After legislative hoars members be gin to drop in, and in the evening it is not un common to see a score of Senators and Repre sentatives seated ronnd a long table while tho ex-President, with animation And earnestness, lays down tho law and befriends his policy. Etheridge holds forth At the City HoteL He exerts remarkable conversational and persuasive powers, albeit be is often very indiscreet in his utterances! His slnrs about East Tennessee have lost him votes from that section. Johnson is certainly tho more wily and politicof the two. Each has hosts of zealous friends who are work ing os if the fate of the Republic depended on the result Each member of the Legialatnre had placed on his desk to-cUy a package containing John son’s messages to Congress, including his prin cipal vetoes. It is hardly probable that this ap peal to ancient history will make any votes one way or tho other. Viewing the whole matter from an impartial stand point, it may be stated that Andy is still in the lead and is likely to re tain his advantage. The Administration. Timon, tho Washington correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, asserts very confidently that General Grant will take the role of modera tion, and there will be a struggle upon it as soon as Congress meets. Says he : At this time it is of coarse impossible to fore see the results of the coming antagonism to President Grant’s idea of what should be done in relation to tho States not yet restored to their privileges in the Union; but tho probabilities are that a wide division of political sentiment most result. Grant will announce his views through his message; and it is no stretch of ap prehension to Belie vo Butler in the House, or Sumner in the Senate, will cry ont against them immediately. When this occurs it will not be difficult to j udge as to the strongest party. Grant would not have tho same trouble with Congress as Johnson had, for the very simple reason that the majority is with him. Bleeding from the Lungs is Consumption.— Onr readers will find in another column an ex cellent article upon this subject from the pen of Dr. James A. Hunter, of New Orleans, who has been practising in our city for a few months past. It is undoubtedly a subject of vital im portance to many, and his avoidance of technic alities renders it comprehensible to the unpro fessional, for whom it is intended. Dr. Hunter is tho advocate and practicionor of a system of treatment for long diseases lately introduced into this country—one that undoubt edly possesses many advantages over the old method of treating these affections. It is no new “ism” or “pathy,” but merely a method of applying remedies to tho seat of disease in the head, throat and lungs, by instruments con structed for that purpose. Dr. Hunter’s long and actual experience in this department of his profession naturally endows him with greater skill and Ability in tho management of snch dis eases than those who devote their attention to general practice, and we trust he will be induced to spend another summer in Georgia. A Female Lawyer.—The Montgomery Adver tiser says : One day last week a novel case was tried in the court house at Greenville. Jndge M. C. Lane brought suit against Miss Josephine Hutton for a fee. The lady appeared in court, pleaded her own case, examined witnesses, and made a long speech to the jury. Tho case, how ever, went against her. Her reason for appear ing was that she did not believe an honest law yer was to be found in the country. She said, among other things, that if an earthquake was to come, and the clouds were to fall, she be lieved that the first thing thought of by the lawyers would be the collection of their fees, preparatsry to entering upon that long journey in search of a future home, deep down in the dominions of his Satanic Majesty, whither they were all slowly but surely tending. A Sensible People.—The Powder Springs Agricultural Society close a report of their pro ceedings thus: The swords of *61 now, in the Providence of God, rest in their scabbards. The principles they defended are on record. Let ns let them rest. Our duty now plainly calls us to the peace ful vocations of life ; let us with industry and wisdom pursue them. Let us sustain the record that we are “equal to the times”—that the foot steps of the fathers may be commendable to posterity. _ Speaxino of iron ore. the Air-Line Eagle says: “This valuable metal abounds in Hall, Gwinnett, Habersham, White, Banks and Lump kin counties of the very best quality, and in immense quantities. The hematite will reach 75 to 80 per cent., and the snlphurets of iron and copper, though poorer, will, in time, be valuable from their abundance and cheap pro duction. All the ceonties of North-east Geor gia abound in iron ores ; but those counties sit uated on and near the great belt of primitive limestone, which traverses the State of Georgia and South Ct rolina, a short distance north of the ithcolamite, or flexible sandstone, contain a much larger quantity. The Air Line Railroad runs near this line for three hundred miles, which, in time, will give cheap transportation to the manufactured products of this extensive country and rich region. ” Marine News.

To CUistnt of Georgia: Sometime in the latter part of September, the fol lowing article appeared in tho Atlanta Constitution, and, as we are informed, and havo every reason to believe, was copied extensively Into tho columns of many other papers in the State. It was an anony mous communication, and as such was treated by ourselves with the contempt it merited. Any man that bears the broad banner of Truth, need never fear to lift his visor and exhibit his features to tho world. It is only the cut-throat and assassin that carefully conceals his face, and “chooses darkness rather than light, because his deed are evil.** No ono knew who “Bibb” was, or the character he sus- -tained in thit community. It was impolitic on onr part to fight phantoms, and hence our silence. Now that “Bibb” is unearthed, and driven from the hole in which he carefully concealed himself; now that ho is pnblidy discovered by the editor of the Macon Telegraph to bo no leas & personage than tho hon. james fitzpatrick, the present member of the Legislature from Bibb county, we are prepared to show cause why his Ex cellency, Governor Bollock, paid us for the arrest, or rather discovery of the whereabouts of Mr. Hoye. The article to which wo first call attention reads as follows: Governor Bnlloek Charged With Paying: the Wrong Parties. Macon. Ga.. September 22,1869. Editor Atlanta Constitution: Governor Bullock offered a reward of five hundred dollars for the ar rest of Alfred Hoy, charged with murder, on the 20th day of January, 1S69. The Sheriff of Bibb county arrested Hoye. and produced him before Court—the Superior Court then in session. Tho po lice authorities made some exertions to arrest Hoye, after the reward was offered, but without success. Horses and carriages were hired by the police, and other expenses incurred, all of which were promptly paid by the Ordinary of Bibb county. The Judge of the Superior Court and Clerk of the Sapeiior Court certified that James Martin, Sheriff of Bibb county, airested Hove. The Governor was aware and fully informed of the above facts, but, strange to say, His Excellency paid the reward to the police offiners of this city, to bo divided among them. The writer asks, if the Sheriff was not entitled to the reward who was? By what authority, or by what right, could a policeman of Macon receive the re ward, tho Sheriff being the party who made the ar rest, and produced the prisoner in Court. For tho truthfulness of the above. I have in my possession tho handwriting of the Judge and Clerk of the Superior Court of the Macon Circuit, under the seal of the Court. Bibb. In the first place, tho sheriff of Bibb county did not arrest Mr. Hoye,who surrendered himself volun tarily to the authorities ; alleging as his reason for so doing, that the police of the City of Afacon had made the tcoods too hot to hold him, and that the game *cas up and he knno it / Horses and carriages tcere hired by the police be yond a doubt. They performed their duty as they always do, always have done, and alwaya’mean of do, promptly anil fearlessly. They spared no pains or personal exertions, and left no stone unturned to secure the arrest of Mr. Hoye; and that gentlemen well knows that by his surrender to tho sheriff of Bibb county, he just managed to escape the officers who hung upon his trail, without stopping to eat, drink, or sleep, so eager were they to perform the duty devolving upon them. Tho police paid their own bills for carriage hire, amounting to over one hundred dollars, nor were they ever remunerated until paid by his Excellency, the Governor. These are well established facts that are too icell JcTCovcn to require comment His Excellency, Governor Bollock, was well aware of all the facts in the case, and acted honestly, rquarely and consciously when he paid the police of the City of Macon for the sig nal service sthey had rendered. By what right oi authority does the Sheriff of Bibb county ask Jot the reward offered by the Exec utive of the State of Georgia for the arrest of Alfred Hoye? Did he arrest Mr. Hoye? By no mean*/ Mr.* Hoye states he surrendered himself voluntarily to evade the police, when he was morally certain he could by no possibility escape. The whole affair lies in a nut-shell. When the Sheriff of Bibb county neglected or ref Med to arrest Mr. Hoye, the services of certain members of the police were brought into requisition. They accom plished successfully what the Sheriff of Bibb county could not or tcould not do. and brought Mr. Alfred Hoye to an unconditional surrender, so that he might be brought to trial before a jury of his coun try. For a faithful performance of the arduous du ties assigned them, the Governor* of the State, in compliance with his gubernatorial oath to do justice to all. has paid the legal and just demands, as every honest man in the State knew he would do. We thank the editor of the Telegraph for un earthing hon. james fitzpatrick. So that we might know whom we were to answer. We leave the honorable (?) representive. to the suf- fr? g'» of his constituents at the next election, be ing fully aware that they knoxc all about him and estimate him all oyer the county at his exact mar ketable value. Those of our citizens who may wish any informa tion in onr power to give, relative to the pursuit and surrender of Mr. Hoye, or the subsequent action of his Excellency. Governor Bullock, toward ourselves, can call on each or either of the undersigned at such time as may best suit their present convenience. We are gentlemen. Very respectfully yours, Jas. A.

SYMPTOMS OF COXSUMPTION! Spitting of Blood Bleeding from the Lungs, BY DR. JAMES A. HUNTER, (Law or New 0eleax3,) Physician for Diseases of the Head, Throat and Longs. Editors Telegraph—Sies : Of all the symp toms that indicato tho approach of Consump tion, there is none of snch fearful significance as the occurrence of “streaks of blood" in tho mucus expectorated. If this symptom does not tell ns that tubercles are now actually deposited, it does tell ns that the hmgs are obstructed and congested, and in a very precarious condition. The quantity of blood brought np from tholcngs may vary from a few streaks to one or more pints of pure blood, but the quantity does not increase the danger to the pitient. The danger lies in the tubercles, which this symptom tells ns are now, or abont to be, deposited in the del icate air-tabes and cells of the longs, and a fow streaks of blood in tho spata are as strong a proof of this as a pint would be. It is very rare, indeed, that life is shortened by reason of the loss of blood from the longs. The alarm which patients feel at tho first sight of blood is natural enough, for they cannot know, what is the fact, that those who spit blood from time to time, lice longer, and hate a better chance of cure, than those who do not lose a drop. What (is the canse of spitting of blood ? It is caused by whatever obstructs the free passage of the blood through tho pulmonary capillaries, Every pulsation of the heart pumps into the lnngs, to be distributed over tho air-cells, a cer tain quantity of blood. As the heart never ceases its action, and conld not, without stop, ping the whole of life, it will be understood that a steady stream of blood is flowing from the heart to tho longs. Now, if the lnngs are healthy, this blood becomes purified and vitalized by ex haling its carbon into tho air-cells, and absorb ing oxygen from the air we breathe, and is then again returned to the heart, from whence it goes to nourish and sustain the system. Bat let ns suppose the lungs are obstructed by the presence of tubercles, or by what is qniet as prejudicial, viz : tenacious mucus in the air-tubes. In the first case, tho vessels through which tho blood must pass are obstructed; and in the second, the tabes through which the air passes. The consequence is, that the impure blood flows with difficulty, and often stagnates in tho deli cate vessels of the obstructed part. We physi cians say the lung is “congested,” by which we mean that the vessels are fall almost to bursting, like the vessels of tho eye when it is bloodshot, This condition continues for a longer or shorter period, and then tho vessels relax and allow the blood to ooze through their coats as fluids do through a filter, and the patient coughs it up. If the congestion was considerable, the quantity of blood will be greater; but no matter how much or how little, it indicates that the lungs are in an unhealthy condition—in a word, that the lungs are obstructed. It is the business and the dnty of the physician to discover the nature of the obstruction by a careful examination of the chest, and then to prescribe proper mean3 for its removal. It is a common belief that the blood comes from the breaking of a blood vessel, and this idea is entertained by many physicians. This is no more true than it would be to say the bleed ing from the nose comes from the breaking of a blood ve9seL The blood merely oozes through the coats of the relaxed vessels; in medical phrase, we say it is exhaled. Should a vessel of any size actually break, and snch cases have oc curred, though extremely rare, the patient neces sarily bleeds to death, because neither medicine nor surgery affords ns any means by which we can. apply either a stypic, tort ion or the ligature. But as this misfortune has never occurred to ns in the treatment of many thousands of cases of consumptive disease, its danger is not worth considering. Bespectfnlly, James A. Husteb, M. D., Office No. 70 Mulberry St. Macon', Ga., October 9, 1869. Cuxxoar, October 7,1838. Editors Telegraph : Having been so erroneously represented—more especially in Jones county—by certain individuals who ars well known as having been the means of what they spoke of ms becom ing a topic of tree comment, and which baa been so grossly distorted, I feel that I cannot, with justice to myself and respect to others, remain longer si lent. Therefore, I ask that I may. through the me dium of your paper, ask a correspondence with those parties through the press, that those to whom I nave been so misrepresented may judge from facts. And while I know there are reasons against this step, and have felt it a duty, I should not bo hasty but afford time for justice to be doDe me, I feel the most thorough conviction that the saered obligation to vindicate my character, impeached as it has been, far outweighs all other considerations. My only ob ject is to place my conduct in its proper light, and not to assault others; nor ought I to be held re sponsible should any such consequence follow.
