A. H. Stephens for United States Senator.—In tue past and oetter days of the Republic, the South had am ple reason to be proud of the character and ability of her representatives at Washington. They were men of integ rity, ability, eloquence and influence. Statesmen of high order, of whom any people might well have been proud, and whose glory gave lus tre and renown to the American Congress. Bnt between those days and the present time, a gloomy chasm inteivenes. Reoonstruotioi, fraud and proscription have done their work; the light of Southern genius has been ex- cuded from the halls of Congress, and with the exception of a few honest men, tne places of the Randolphs, Calhouns, Clays, Troups .nd Cobbs of the past, are filled by miserable carpet-baggers and scalawags, who, with brainless vani ty ai d unprincipled audacity, assume to represent tho Southern people.

Ry our telegraphic dispatches it will be we couid select four Senators, we would select tne four men whose names have been most frequently mentioned connection with the position—Col quitt, Gordon, Jonhson and Stephens, Towards two of these, Gens. Colquitt and Gordon, we feel, in its full force, the sentiment that usually exist between men woo have stooa together in the samt bat ties, and if we were to consult our feel ings alone we would most probably favor the brave and gifted Gordon, the peer- le-8 chevalier of the Southern army, above all others. But under all the cir- um&tunces of the situation, we regard Mr. Stephens as preeminently qualified and entitled to the position, Mr. Stephens is ohly a man, with the frailties of humanity, liable as are men, to err, though not as liable to efr us most men. We offer him no hero wor ship, no blind adoration, nor unques tioning support. These we give-to no man, but he is beyond question a man of unbending integrity—clear, calm in tellect, profound learning, remarkable foresight, true and effective eloquence, and if in the Senate woula be a oower felt throughout the length and breadth of the United States. Imbued with a high sense of honor and justice, possessed of moral courage that shrinks, from no ordeal, free from prejudice, open to conviction, but firm and unyielding in his convictions; in full sympathy with the great Southern heart and thoroughly aiive to the cen tralizing tendencies of the Grant ad ministration and Republican party, is peculiarly fitted to represent, not only Georgia, at this critical juncture, but the entire South. The next four years must decide, whether Repuolicanism in Amer ica, lives or dies. Stephens is not only champion of free institutions, bat strong and courageous champion—“a mighty man of valor” on the arena in which the battle on which our political destiny depends, must be decided. 8S?* Will the Macon Telegraph explain why The Sun never receives credit for news it takes from our columns, while items or articles from either the Constitu- —There are two hundred and eleven I I tion or Herald are credited to them.

A Good Move* From the Borne Courier; Wo understand that there is an effort on foot, by competent parties, to estab lish a cotton factory at this dUco. It is deoidedly a move in the right direction, and ono that should meet the hearty encouragement of all parties. There is no enterprise that will pay better, and at the same time insure more to the pros perity of our city than this. A correspondent writes to the New York Journal of Commerce some highly interesting faots relative to cotton man ufacturing in the South. Referring to Langley Mills, near Aiken, S. C., the writer says: “The manufacturer of cotton yarns from Manchester, England, after looking at our boons, told me that we manufac ture cheaper than they did, by about the difference in the value of our currency and gold—that is to say, four and three quarters of 1 per cent per pound. Among the advantages enjoyed by tbe South oyer the North in manufacturing cotton may be enumerated the follow- ing: 1. Here the raw material is produced, and by working it here various expenses incidental to its transportation could be saved—such as profits made by those who invest capital, time and labor in moving it irorn place to place; insurance daring transportation; loss by samplings an<* stealages from the bales. 2. Experts claim that in our warm Southern clime cotton works better to advantage as high as ten per cent. 3. Reclamation on false-packed and damaged cotton is direct and easy. 4. Freights on manufactured goods are less in proportion than our bulky and hazardous bales of cotton. Yarns can be delivered in New York from this viuini ty tor sixty to eighty cents per hundred pounds. 5. Abundant supply of operative labor at low rates, and consequent exemption from strikes. Northern superintendents of Southern mills admit the superiority of our factory hands (whites) and the. ease with which they are controlled.— The average wages paid at the Saluda mills is $142 per annum, 6. Tbe mildness of tho climate enables the operatives to enjoy a larger propor tion of comforts on a given amount of wages. In cold climates a larger propor tion of carbonaceous food is requisite, which costs more than farinaceous food nor do the houses for operatives require to be so expensive as in colder regions. Lumber of the best kind costs only $11 or $15 per M. The short winters require less fuel. Land is cheap, aud each householdcaa have ‘its garden, cow and pigs. 7. There is a home demand for the goods—the larger country stores keep supplies of yarn for sale as regulany as they do sheeting. 8. By purchasing seed'eotton from the planters and ginning it at the mill the cotton is in better condition for working than after it has been compressed into bales, and the exp°nse of packing the cotton, bagging, ties and handling would be saved, as well as the expense cf run ning it throngh the picker. The wastage cotton undergoes in different ways has been estimated from one-tenth to one eighth of a bale. Gould the entire crop of cotton be converted into yarns at the South and shipped abroad in that form, it would add $150,000,000 annually to the wealth of this portion of the United States. Foreign mills would adapt their maebin ery to working up the yarns instead of the raw cotton. If but one-quarter of the crop could be thus converted, womd be a greac blessing to this country, and enable numbers of women and chil dren, who are now dependent upon oth ers, to support themselves. German Frugality. And yet the correct reasons has cot been given, the whicb we rise to explain Jacob’s tears, if his eyes saw this far in the future, were affliction drops, drawn out by foreseeing such Bonsense as the foregoing in tbo press of the nineteenth century.—Atlanta Sun. The best economists in the world are the Germans. In their native land noth ing is lost. The produce of the trees and of the cows is carried to market — Much fruit is dried for winter use. You see wooden trays of plums, cherries and sliced apples lying in the sun to dry.— You see strings of them hanging from their chamber windows in the sun. The cows are kept up for the greater part of the year, aud everv green thing is col lected for them. Every little nook where the grass grows by the roadside, and river, and brook, is carefa’ly cat with the side, and carried home, on the heads of women and children, in baskets, or carefully tied in large cloths. Nothing of any kind that can possibly be made of any kind of use is lost. Weeds, nettles, hay, and the very goose grass which covers waste places, are ent up and taken for cows. You see the little children standing m the stieets of the villages, in the streams which generally run down them, busy wasliiog these weeds before they are given to the cattle. They care fully collect the leaves of the marsh grass, carefully cut f heir potato tops for them, and even, if other things fail, gather green leavek from the woodlands. Ono cannot help thinking continually of the enormous waste of such things in England—of the vast quantities of gross on banks, by roadsid s, in the openings of plantations, in lames, in church yards, where grass from year to year spfngs and dies without care, but which, jf properly cut, would maintain many thousand cows for the poor. Perhaps it is because Germany is a poor producing country that such care is tak“n of her meanest products, but Gertain it is that nothing is waBted. Tbe very cuttings of the vines are dried aud preserved for winter fodder The tops and refuse of the hemp serve as bedding for cowb; nay, even the rough stalks of the poppies, after the heads have oeen gathered for oil, are saved, and all these are converted into manure for land. When these axe not sufficient, the children are sent into the woods to g ther moss; and all our readers familiar with Germany w.11 remember to have seen them coming homeward with large bundles of this ou their heads. In au turnn, the falling leaves are gathered and stocked for the same purpose. The fir cones, wiiich with us lie and rot in the woods, are carefully collected and sold for lighting fires. WIf AT?

They admire co quettish garments, neaciy dressed hair and all the thousand tasty and fanciful little articles with which young women adorn themselves, more than they would be willing to allow. The neatness and order which charmed them too often ^ gives place to a slovenly morning govra, frowsy hair, slipshod and unlaced shoes, and tho like; for many women who make it a study to please the men they wish to marry, display great carelessness in dress after marriage. Men do not like this. They reason that women shou>d Lave ±e same desire to please the men they have chosen, afier marriage as they hadbefoie it. The last new song loses its charmcom ing from the lips of a slattern. The poetry goes out of life at a glance, and the household loses its brightness. The wife, who on account of household cates, neglects ner personal appearance, com mits a grave mistake; which too often bears bitter fruit, and their husbands leave their society for that of c without really knowing tho cause; most men are too proud to tell them. Let women always give the same care to dies after marriage which they give it before, and not rush from the room to “dres up” only when there is a prospect o! “company.” Let them consider tk that which gives them a charm in tin eyes ot their friend has a like effect on i husband, and they will see that he ml not have so many business colls in th city in the evening, but will nave th» same delight in their society as in th days of courtship. > ana* SOar dispactnes state that the Ju dietary Committee will report in favor of raising the President’s salary to fifty thousand dollars per annum. —The Lexington Press says: “ Capt O.

Matilda Hernandez, a widov lady living in East Macon, was burned to death about 4 o’clock yesterday after noon. The circumstances of this fright ful accident, as far as can be ascertained, are about as follows: Mrs. Hernandez was left at ho alone, by her daughter, wuo had gout to make a visit to some of her neighbor! When the daughter left, her mother, ir her usual health, was sitting before ta fire. The daughter was out some con siderable time, and when she she fonnd her mother dead—having been burned to death. How she caught cannot oe Known, though it is snpp she had a fit .nd fell forward into th fire, though she is not known to havf been subject to fits of any kind When found, her clothes were w all burned off her, and her face the upper portion of her body were! erally roasted to a black, ’ aid Her stomach was also burned until he bowels protruded, and her hands arms burned until they were shapei^ In the charred condition in which a-; was found, no one could have idenw$ her. It is awful to think of wbat a the poor woman had with the flames; sp it is humane, at least, to hope mat ^ accident was caused by a fit of so& kind, and that she was unconscious the fire seized her. — A Census ojf Worses# The general prevalence of dis^ among horses, and the special in them which grow? out of then condition, gives value to the foil® • statistics: The whole number of in the United States is 8,619,219- these 7,132,849 are on faims and *1®*' 370 in cities and towns and not 0. wise on farms.
