H. Yarrington is our general Travel ing Agent, authorized to transact any business for us. Onfftide Contents. First Page.—Letter from Texas—The State Fair Tournament—A Remarkable Slate Quarry in Chdrokee Georgia—A Trotting Match— Items. Fourth Paoe.—Common Salt an Anti-Rust Manure. Price of Moles and Cattle In Ken tucky. We have before os a copy of the Western Cit izen, published at Paris, Bourbon county, Ken tucky, which place is the largest horse, mule and cattle market in the State, and from which point is shipped a large proportion of the mules and horses offered for sale in this and other Southern towns. The Citizen quotes two year old mules at $120 to $160; broke mules $150 to $212. One lot of 28 mules brought $140 10; sucklings $45 to $63. Another lot of 21 head, two year old, Bold at $180; yearlings as high as $05; broke mules, from $300 to $475 per pair. The cattle market is reported brink. Sold 12 steers, three year olds, $72 65; 52 head threes, $72 ; 20 head $60 ; oxen $75 to $135; 24 head two year olds $68 35 per head; 22 yearlings $44 10. Good cattle sustain C cents; common two year olds brought about 5 cents. The shipments of stock from the Paris pens for the week ending 4th instant, amounted to 77 car-loads. The Oratnd Tournament. It will l>o seen from a correspondence npon our first page, that the State F/ur Tournament promises to be a splendid exhibition, and we have no doubt, in the eyes of youth and beauty, will bo far distance Berkshire and Chester swine, Durham bulls and improved implements of all kinds, in the grand show, that hardly a thought will be turned to the latter. Weil, we can’t help it. The Tennessee Senatorial Election begin* to-day. Andy Johnson is in Nashville in force, and will make a hard fight for the position. If he falls he will die kicking and with his face to the foo. The opposition to him, however, is heavy. The Banner opens on him with a quo tation from Juvenal and four solid columns of invective, snperadded to a fusilade of squibs. We will throw up our cap for Andy if ho knocks them all over; for we believe he is an honest man and will do good in the Senate Chamber. However, this is a time when the ]>o*t naii get the bettor of the old fogies all the time. Came Back to Georgia.—One day last week we met Mr. — Turner and his wife, who stated they h‘id just returned from Illinois. They had gone there from Columbus, where they had re sided for years, to better their fortunes. They could make more monoy they said, but the cold was too violent—it had nearly frozen them—and they had returned to Georgia to live And die, where they could occasionally. draw warm breaths.—C< >1V )n b u* Su n. Real estate in Philadelphia, it is said, is worth nothing like what it was two or three years ago, and is still declining in value. There are more houses than tenants, and brick and lumber are so low that buildings built when prices wero higher cannot competo with thoso more recently erected. The many Southerners, too, Vho during the rebellion took refuge in Philadelphia have gone back to the South and lert vacant dwellings behind them. Value of Leading Cnors.—The following ta ble represents the value of the leading crops for the year 1868, the estimates being made upon home values in the respective States, and fur nished by tho Commissioner of Agriculture at Washington; Indian corn 579,512,460 Wheat 3111,189,710 Rye 28,083,(177 Oats 142,4S4,910 Barley 29,809.931 Buckwheat 20,804,315 Potatoes .... 84,1.70,040 Tobacco 40,081,942 Hay 351,941,930 Oot ton .... 225.000.000 Mean Tutn'miATritE of the States.—Accord- ing to the regularly reported tables, the mean temperature of August last was as follows in the different States; CC degrees. New York G7 “ Pennsylvania Virginia ....70 “ 70 “ North Carolina Georgia 78 “ Alabama 90 “ Texas 83 “ Mississippi 83 11 Tennessee 80 “ Ohio 71 “ Illinois being considered egotistical—that we should remind the Telegraph that the editors of this paper are native Georgians— that they never oondacted a Whig sheet—that they did not sell out their property in this State, or any portion of it daring the war and hide the proceeds nntil the storm was over—that they did not withdraw themselves from the public while the war was in progress—that one of them served actively in field from the beginning of the conflict to its close, while the other, although in delicate health, devoted his services, time and money to the care ind attention of the sick and wounded soldiers and in other departments of the Confed erate Government—that they opposed, in 18G7, the original Reconstruction Acts of Congress, and have always, and at all times, defended, to the utmost of their ability, the rights of the peo ple of the State against the encroachments of Radical power, while some persons were whining for peace and “moderation"—that they have never been required, by public sentiment, to retire from the conduct of a paper because its influence was against the true interests of the South. Undoubtedly the editors of the Chronicle and Sentinel have been governed daring and since the war by an honest purpose to serve Georgia and the South to the best of their ability. We have never questioned it—directly or indirectly •—by any charge or insinuation ; and that paper wanders very far from the record to make the expression of a mere preference of our own judg ment over its own in respect to a line of policy which will best subserve the interests of the South and the Democratic party, the excuse for personal flings and insinuations like the forego- ing. They were not only uncalled for, but are un founded in everything in which they are de signed to bo injurious. Tho writer—one of the editors of the Telegraph—is the only person connected with the paper not bora in the South, but has spent his wholo manhood here. It has held him and all his goods and chattels—affec tions and interests—for more than a generation. He parted with no property and concealed none daring tho war. In tho last year of the war a physical malady compelled him to retiro from the excitement and responsibility of editorial life, but ho did not transfer his property in the Telegraph nntil after the surrender. His whole heart was in the success of the Confeder ate struggle, as his wholo heart is now in the effort to repair tho waste and desolation which resulted from it, and make the best of our con dition. We venture no comparison of our pub lic services with those of our assailant, which were meritorious and important; but only claim that we did our best. And when the writer re tired from tho Telegraph, he left it with a cir culation and popularity altogether unrivaled in Georgia at any time in her history. It seems strange that the Chronicle and Sen tinel and its editor in chief should attack any body for tho crime of being whigs. The writer was one of those who refused to be transferred to Know-nothingism, and joined the democracy against tho latter in 1854. He had much dis tinguished company in Georgia in making that trip, and regrets that the Chronicle and Senti nel did not join tho “excursion** at that time. Finally, wo agree with the Chroniclo when ho SAys “tho public cares little for theso personal matters” and our wonder is that he should in troduce them. Why should ho perpetually im pugn the motives and patriotism of the Tele graph ? Are wo not entitled to fair construc tion ? If our suggestions are ill-considered— our reasoning feeble—if, as he says, we do a good deal of it ichiuing' t instead of giving fair, manly, honest and prudent counsel—the people can see it just as well as tho Chronicle, and will rate it at its true value. We suggest to our as sailant, that he distrusts the good senso of the peoplo when he manifests so much dread of the power and influence of the Telegraph. If tho people cannot see that we mean well and think rightly, and give them reasonable conclusions, tho Teleoraph will have little or no influence. If they find us consulting our personal whims, piques and animosities, instead of tho reason in the case, and trying to divest ourselves of all these blind and dangerous coun sellors when we seek to advise them, they will rightly reject all onr counsel as bastard—the offspring of passion instead of judgment. Let the Chroniclo liberalizo itself a little. Let it learn to admit that differences of opinion can exist without criminal intent or moral or mental depravity. No man should expect to set up himself or his notions as tho sole standard of all moral, social and political truth and rectitude, and denounce all mankind into conformity with them. If he does, he will faiL He will some times find himself in a minority of one. In our judgment-, argument, persuasion, conciliation, good temper, forbearance and toleration are far more potent allies of political truth and party success than all the whips that were ever twisted by scorn and contempt. BIT TELEGRAPH. HEW ADVERTISEMENTS From Washington. _ Washington, September 11.—The Department* and backs are closed. The Island of St. Thomas had an earthquake on the 17th of September, almost equal to those of year before last. In the Supreme Court tho l'erger case will bo hoard on Friday as to the question of jurisdiction. The Brown case from Texas is to abide by the de cision in the l'erger case. Judge Fisher in the Schurman case sustains the motion for the arrest of judgment on account of a defective indictment. There are other counts upon which Scbeurman will be tried. He is convicted of stealing notes from the Treasury and forging signa tures, and altering them- Turner, the late negro Poet-master at Macon, Ga.. is implicated in the case. The Court of Claims met but adjourned without business in respect to Pierce. Fanragafc is getting well. The President thinks the proposed purchase of St. Thomas a bad investment. A large number of cotton cases are on the present docket of the United States Sapreme Court, having been taken np on an appeal from the Court of Claims, in which the same questions are involved as those taken to the Sapreme Court. Attorney General Hoar will, at an early day, make an effort to advance these cases before the Sapreme Court, in order that those before both Courts may be settled. These cases grow out of claims for cot ton captured by the United States authorities during the rebellion, which was sold and net proceeds cov ered into the Treasury. Bout well is still absent. General G. B. McClellan will domicile at the Me tropolitan, during the winter. Hon. Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi, is here. Triumph of the Democrats in Savannah. Savannah, October 11.—The Democratic vote for Mayor and Aldermen is overwhelming; out of forty- four hundred registered voters the Democrats will poll four thousand, the negroes generally voting with them. Everything quiet. Col. John Screven, Democratic candidate, and the entire Democratic Board was elected by about three thousand majori ty. The official vote will not be known until to morrow. The negroes generally, voted with the Democrats. Forty-three oolored men of Savannah, have signed and published a oard in the papers of that city, renouncing the Radical party, and pledging themselves to vote far the Conserva tive ticket f o-morrow for Mayor and Aldermen. They further state that they wish it understood, that hereafter they will vote and act with their white friends. The number of killed by the explosion at the Indiana State Fair is now reported at twenty- seven, while several of the wounded will proba bly die. Tho cause of the explosion is supposed to have been a lack of water in the boiler. The Pennsylvania and Ohio Elections take place to-day. It will be impossible to disappoint ns in the results, for we have formed no calcu lations or anticipations on the subject. The Cuthbert Appeal threatens to present its readers with a sheet next week which any city in the land would not blush to own. That’s clever.—Columbus Sun. Columbus Cotton Receipts to Saturday night were 999 bales—shipped 7,037—on hand 3,079. Mb. Hancock, editor of the Americas Repub lican, was in town yesterday. Gen. Toombs.—The Washington Wilkes coun ty Gazette of the 8th says: We are pleased to announce the rapid conval escence of Gen. Robert Toombs from his recent severe illness. On Sunday night he was so very low as to cause serious anxiety to his friends. Dr. Steiner, of Augusta, was tele graphed for, but the disease was so rapid in its workings, that the crisis was over and the Gen eral already on the mend, before the Doctor ar rived on Monday. Since that time, he has been steadily improving, and we sincerely congratu late his many friends upon the happy prospect of his recovery. <ea». these “s i Gone to Work.-—Our Charleston exchanges state that the negro longshoremen, who rule the roost in that city, and whose strikes and riotous demonstrations have already been noticed, have gone to work, a compromise having been effect ed by which they agree to resume labor npon certain stipulations therein stated, the most im portant being that they receive $2 50 per day, 7 o'clock a. M. to 6 p. M., and 40 cents per hour for work after time. They will not, however, work along side green hands. We congratulate the merchants and shippers, as much loss and inconvenience has resulted from the strike of these “skilled labor” darkies. “Hold Your Cottqft.* 9 Such is the advice given to the planters by most of the newspapers of the South. Whether it be good or bad, we shall not pretend to say. Perhaps it would be better in such cases to state facts and leave the planter to decide for himself. Without doing violence to this subject there are some remarks which it may not be amiss to make on tho subject. The question may be viewed in a two-fold as pect—of interest and of duty. The planter is not always at liberty to decide tho point whether he should sell or not according to his fancy or judgment of the chances. As regards the interest of the planter to sell, as before stated, we prefer to leave him to de termine the question for himself. We may say though, that, as a general rule, it is safest and best in the long run to sell as soon as the crop is ready for market, without incurring expenses of storage, insurance and loss of weight from theft and natural causes. Experience has proved this rule to be the best, though it is subject to limitations, in cases, for instance, where it is evident that combinations have been formed to keep down the price ; and even then there are risks. With prompt sales, the planter pays off his debts, supplies the wants of his family and farm without heavy cost in the way of interest and advancements, preserves his credit and feels at ease. But it is on tho duty aspect of the question that we feel at liberty to remark with more freedom, as we can here advance an opinion and give ad vice without incurring the risk of leading the planter into error. When men owe money, and it is due and needed by the creditor, and especi ally where the debt has been contracted on the faith of the crop, they are under a moral obliga tion to sell, in justice to others, and it is not a mat ter in which they can rightfully indulge a choice. Esoecially is this the case when a remunerating price can be obtained in this market, as at the present time. The planter has no right to make his factor or other creditor suffer when he can sell his crop at a handsome profit just because he thinks he can get more by waiting. Twenty- five cents per pound affords a liberal margin af ter the payment of all expenses, and when a plan ter can get it, he has no excuse for asking the indulgence of creditors. He should at least sell enough to pay off his indebtedness, as a matter of duty and good faith, and then should he feel inclined to gamble on the remainder of his crop, it is his own lookout and nobody else’s business. These views, we think, are correct, and ad dress themselves directly to the moral sense of the planters. Let all act upon them as a rule, and we shall bear but little of “hard times** from a dead-lock in the cotton market—Savan nah Republican. Plainly, a man has no right to hold his crop at the expense of his creditors. His paper should be met at maturity, even if, in order to meet it, he is compelled to sell cotton at unsatisfactory prices. To hold it is to sacrifice “a good name, which is better than riches,” and to speculate on his creditor’s money and not his own. We have never advised any man to hold his crop at such a sacrifice of character and justice, because in our judgment it would be a very suicidal as well as wicked policy. He only who is ont of debt or who can arrange with his creditors to postpone their claims can honestly hold his cotton for a rise. Case of the Cuba* WimixoTON, October 11.—The case of the Cuba was opened tliia morning by Mr. G. H. Lowrey, of New York, who appeared with Col. George Davis, late Attorney General of the Confederate States, and Judge O. P. Hears, of this city, for the Repub lic of Cuba; by reading a commission of Commo dore Higgins, as an officer of the CobanNavy, and also formal protest by him against the exercise of juris diction by the civil courts over his ship, she being a public ship of war, of a recognized nation. After stating the character of the vessel, Col. Higgins sol emnly protests in the name and for tho honor of Caba against any detention or interference with his ship. The conclusion of tho protest is as foliowb : And now having, for the dignity and honor of the republic of Cuba, made & protest against tho exer cise of & jurisdiction over public ships, unknown among nations, and being willing and desirous to have the truth known to all nations and persons, and particularly tho citizens of tho United States, and do declare it is certain that the said vessel has not, in any of her preparations, offended against the neutrality laws of the United States in the manner changed, or in any other manner, and I aver that tho said vessel is now m the eame condition in every respect as when she was purchased from the Gov ernment of tho United States in the month of Jane, 1869, except a few immaterial alterations, and not relating to her character or uao as a war vessel, and except farther that the said vessel, since the said purchase and while out of tho limits of the United States, and more than twenty days after the departure therefrom and after wo had entered a British port, and had been there seized by the public authorities, examined and discharged, and had cleared therefrom, and then, and not till then, was she sold and delivered to tho Republic of Cuba, and was fitted out and armed upon the high seas and beyond the jurisdiction of the United States and of all other nations; that all tho proceedings aforesaid is far from being in dis regard of the right and dignity of the United States; wero in a careful and truo respect therefor, and under tho sanction of well established principles of public laws. (Signed) Edward Higgins, Commodore Cuban Navy, and Commander of tho Cuban Steamship Cuba. In order to allow the government time to produce witnesses, tho United States Commissioner, Ruther ford, continued the case till Saturday next, at 10)4 o’clock, a. it.
