I This market has been generally quiet and dull, with sales of 5,043 bates, spots, at a rise of of a cent in the price. Contracts have been active with large sales, 144,000 bales, with no change in the price. There have been two spurts in the market this week. Excepting these there has been little life in the mar ket. The causes of this conth med dull ness are the same as we have given for several weeks, and, as far as w< can see, the same causes will continue f >r several weeks to come. LIVERPOOL. This market has been quiet a id dull all the week with small sales, and, as long as such good reports of tho gro ring crop are received from this country, the will be small, as spinners can c mtinue to buy as lightly for twelve weel s to come as they have done this weel, and still have ten days’ supply at the mi Is. The stock was counted the l at Thurs day in this month, as it al ways is, and found to l e 34,000 bales of American short, but as all other kinds were found to b the same amount over, there was no ch: age in the stock, which is now 960,000 )ales, and as the amount afloat is now 613 000 hales, (very much more than ever before, at this time of the year,) the stocl will very soon be largely over a millioi of bales, the largest since the war.

Newnax, Ga., June : 15,1874 The cotton in Coweta and T oup coun ties is very poor. It will m t average over six inches in height. 1 he planta tions are clear of grass and 1 reeds, and we have had plenty of rain; but I sup pose the excessive rains in he spring washed all the richness out o: the land, as the cotton plant is stunt© l and will not grow. I do not think we will make much over half as much as Iasi year; and asthecropiflboundtobeavei^ small one, my neighbors and myself aie holding several hundred bales of cottoi. for a rise in the price next month. better prices. It is the habit with some per ions, when they feel very dull and poor to tirink some invigorating spirits, wl Ich makes T^okpa them feel rich and joj ful for the time, but as soon as the effe t is gone, they are worse off than before. The contract market in New York was very dull at the close of last week, but has been “on a drunk' twice this week. The first cause was, the President signing the “ao-eaRed" inflation or cur rency bill. This put the price of spots up }£, and contracts up 3-£ a cent. This spree lasted two days and the reaction came. Then dispatches came from Liv erpool that, upon a recount of stockjfthe - American was found to be short between 30,000 and 40,000 bales. This was a good thing to start the market up on again, and contracts advanced ^ to % of a cent This lasted but one day and the reaction came. When will our Southern friends learn that these spurts in the market are gilded baits, covering a dangerous hook, thrown at their pockets by the sharp Northern dealer. The price will not always go down, as we shall have a reaction when it gets low enough; but can yon stand another cent’s decline? and have you sold out all the Juty contracts you have? If not, prepare yourselves to take tho cotton when offered, or to sell it out on short notice at half a cent below present prices. Some of our friends say that cotton is cheap enough at 17 cents for low middlings, and will go no lower. Perhaps it may not, but we would not buy it, or hold it at present prices, with out we had an insurance company to pro tect us against the losses which may come. new cotton. Last year there was a bale of new cot ton received in a week from this time, and, as there are a plenty of full grown bolls west of the Mississippi River, we shall expect new cotton in tbo market very soon. GOLD. There has been a very largo and strong party in Washington, from the South and West, exerting themselves to inflate the currency, and thus raise the premium on gold. They have failed, and from this time gold is likely to remain at about its nominal value, and gradually settle down, until 5 or 6 per cent, premium is touched next winter, more especially if the wheat and cotton crops are large, so there will be a large surplus to export, with which to pay our foreign debt. prospects. Buy no spot or contract cotton, for a few weeks, pnd you will not lay awake nights thinking about your losses. SHE KISSED HE. We are indebted to Colonel Absalom H. Chappell for a pamphlet of seventy- three pages, full of valuable contribu tions to the early history of Georgia. The subjects treated in Part I, are the Oconee War, Alexander McGillivray, General Elijah Clark, and Colonel Benja min Hawkins. Part H, of about one hundred and forty pages, which is nearly ready for the press, will discuss Middle Georgia and the Land Lottery System, The Pine Mountain, Ring’s Gap and King’s Trials, The Pine Barren Specula tion in 1794-5, and the Yazoo Fraud. The author has outlived the scriptural term of years allotted to man, and finds his mind inclining more and more to the Past, in which he bore an honorable part. In the “Miscellanies” before us he aims first of all at exactness in state ment. He has fortified his clear memory by the most laborious research among the dusty records that have been handed down; and the results are additions to Geoigia histoiy, whose value is far out of proportion to the appearance of the lit tle unbound volume that contains them. It can be ordered from the publisher, Thomas Gilbert, of Columbus, or through any news dealer in the State.

Near “Eagle Rock,” ’neath chestnut shade, "We sat together—she and I; Together gazed on beauties round, Of bird and flower, and earth and sky.

Where the dim white breakers beat Under cloud drifts at our feet, 8inging, singing, low and sweet. Where we see the glimmering bay Gravely melting far away, On the confines of the day.

Colquitt, President. CHATER VI—Continued. After mature consideration, a plan of operations was arranged. It being determined that Dick Travis should not be permitted to escape this time for any incompleteness of the effort to capture him, it was agreed that three or four days should be devoted to the pursuit of the outlaw, if necessary. The. company was divided into four parties, each under the command of an experienced leader, Maltby taking charge of one. These parties were to separate and in close within their movements a certain area of territory, within which the opera tions of the outlaw occurred, and his favorite haunts were known. They were gradually, cautiously and warily to approach a central point determined upon. ' Everything being in readiness, rations and ammunition in sufficient supply, Jack Maltby gave the order, the parties sep arated, and the march was steady pur sued. Considerable confidence was felt in the result. But they were satisfied of one thing, Dick Travis would hardly allow himself to be captured alive, and blood shed would occur. If he had a number of confederates, as was sometimes thought severe fight might be anticipated. He was known to he brave, sagacious and full of expedients. Bui on his capture, dead or alive, if it were possible, and summary vengeance for the robberies and murders committed upon settlers and immigrants, the frontiermen were steralA resolved. It took the several parties nearly a day to get into their positions and put into action their plan of operations. But when they did so, their work was thor oughly and skillfully done. Slowly but sorely they moved upon the converging lines toward the common rendezvous, carefully scouring the country for traces or information of the outlaw. Directions had been left behind, that should he sud denly appear in any part of the frontier or'settlement, notice should at once be speeded to Maltby and the other parties. It was not difficult in a region of coun try so sparsely inhabited to move with great secrecy, but they nevertheless used every precaution to prevent notice to the outlaw, so that he might not have oppor tunity to anticipate and frustrate their design. In fact they brought to hear upon their plan all the cunning, skill and experience of the border to insure success. While Maltby and his associates are ex ecuting their plan for the capture of the great outlaw, let us glance at the situa tion elsewhere. CHAPTER VII. THE MYSTERIOUS PRESENCE AGAIN. The threatened illness of Frank Stan ton was averted, and he determined to return to the valley. He could no longer bear his anxiety for the fate of Minnie, and his love now asserted its sway in overpowering force. The thoughts of her death, of her cruel treat ment, of her loss to him, almost drove 12c. him to distraction. Dr. Armstrong, thinking his danger over, did not inter pose ahy objection. He perhaps thought that eager and active employment of his mind was better than idle fretting and inaction. So Stanton set out on his journey. His thoughts reverted to the tragic events of the last few weeks, of his own sufferings, of the teirrble misfortunes of the More land family, and other occurrences that had distracted tho frontier,such as the des perate outrages charged upon the noto rious outlaw. What would be the final result of all this puzzled him sorely, and, as his own condition had made him to great extent unobservant of tho general situation, he was keenly solicitous to become thorough ly acquainted and identified with the fortunes of his friends. No nobler, truer, braver heart heat anywhere than in the bosom of young Stanton. To die for or with his friends would to him be happiness indeed, and he felt a keen pang of regret that by reason of his wounding he had heen incapacitated from partici pating in the effort to rescue her, to him the dearest of all earthy objects. On reaching the valley his joy was un speakable on hearing what haa transpired since his departure, and that Minnie had not only been recaptured, but had been safely returned. A moment after, however, he was des tined to some disappointment. He, of course, asked for Minnie, his heart beat ing wildly with ungovernable emotion. It seemed to him that a sight of her would be bliss, such as mortal never enjoyed. But he was answered that Minnie was not in the valley, having left the day be fore. The reason of her departure was ex plained. The work of reconstructing the cabin had been accomplished in two or three days by the co-operative labor of twenty or thirty men. That is, it was in condi tion to be occupied. Major Moreland determined to take possession and remain, unless the Indian manifestations became alarming. But it was thought advisable to place Min'4e for a short time in more com- fortwSle quarters," as her health was by no means strong on account of the physical endurance and mental trials through which she had passed. Some fifteen or twenty miles away there was a neighborhood, hardly a vil lage, of five or six families—not more than a half mile apart. Here resided special friends of the Morelands, and here it was concluded to send Minnie for rest and comfortable surroundings. On arrival at the house of tho family, whose hospitality Minnie was to en- joy, but whom, on account of the intimate relations existing between these border friends, it had not been thought necessary to notify, it was ascer tained that they had gone to a distant lart of the frontier on a short visit, leav- ng only a servant woman in charge of the premises. While this was some dis appointment, as it deprived Minnie of their company, it was a disappointment only to that extent. So she took up her temporary home at the Maxwell’s,and the servant mentioned was so exceedingly kind and attentive that her time was passed most profitably to her health and the restoration of her mental condition to its wonted freedom from excitement and Boott E 36 in. 10c; R 28 In. 8c.

The day succeeding her arrival she strolled out of the house for a short walk keeping, however, in sight of it. Her thoughts turned to other days and the friends of other days. Among them was outlined the splendid form of the gallant iroung Stanton, and the maiden dreamed ong of him, who was now in the valley ana would on the morrow set out to fine her. This she knew not, of course, though she had 'learned joyfully of his probable recovery. Thus busied with her thoughts and fancies, she heard neither the singing of the birds or the sighing of the breeze. But her reveries were startled by some thing out of the natural order, and yet something she had once before encount ered. Though awed, she was not alarmed. She could not believe that in jury to her was contemplated. She was still in sight of the house, and was just turning about to go back, when that same unnatural voice, that sounded over the Indian camp in which she was captive, issued from the surrounding space—it was difficult to tell whence— aying slowly, distinctly: “Maiden, fei fear not. To-night you must hear me. Keep the light burning. (to be continued.)
