As much interesC|e fe!t throughout ttie country in regaJfi to the„prospects of the cotton and other cro^s we will be grateful to our planting friends and others in the interior for information on that subject. Those who have opportunmes for obtaining valuable infor mation In regard to the growing crops, the working of the free-labor system, and kindred matters, of gen eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. THE RKORliANIMATION OP THE CABINET. Il is not certainly known that President Johnson has made a public declaration that he approves the movement which promises to culminate in the organization of a great national parly for the preservation of the Constitution and the Union. Nevertheless, the public has been satisfactorily assured that he does approve of the measure, and that it will receive all the support that he can give consistent with the proprieties of his position. The President therefore accepts the principles and policy enunciated in the call for the Philadelphia convention. And as the pur pose of the Convention is maiuly the recon struction of the South, and the restoration of the Southern States and people of the enjoy ment of their rights as members of the politi cat household, it is but equitable aud politic that the Southern section of the Union should he represented in the Cabinet. The National Union party takes the ground that the Union has never been dissolved, and that it exists now, in all its political essence, the same as it was before the war. The President lias himself unitormly endorsed this theoxy, ami has li^en urging upon Congress the right of the Southern States to immediate representa tion in that body'. If the South is entitled to be heard in the legislative halls, is it not equally clear that she is entitled to be heard in shaping the policy of the Administration. So far as the Executive authority has power to a«l in that direction—so long as the two sections are under one national government —every consideration of justice, self interest aud patriotism invites the people of the North aud South to live upon terms of equality; and we are convinced that a majority of them, earnestly desire such a consummation. It is in that behalf that the ele ments of the conservative strength, through j CONVENTION OF THE FIRST CON GRESSIONAL DISTRICT. In another column will be found the pio- ceedings of the Convention which assembled at Blackshear on Friday last, to appoint dele gates from this Congressional District to the Philadelphia Convention. *l^ie attendance was larger than was to have been expected with the short notiefe, at a season of the year when the people of the country are so much engaged with their home affairs. The Convention was composed of gentle men of character and intelligence, and its proceedings were characterized by the utmost harmony and unity of purpose. The spirit manifested throughout its proceedings evinced an earnest purpose on the part of the members and the constituencies whom they represented, to abide by the issue of the war, and a willingness to unite with the conserva tive men of the North on just, honorable and equal terms, in an effort to rescue the Con stitution aud preserve the liberties of the American people. Of the delegates who Were chosen to repre sent the people of this District in Philadel phia, it is scarcely necessary for us to speak. They are gentlemen of commanding talents, spotless integrity, sound'judgment, and ap proved patriotism, in whpse hands no true Georgian will hesitate to f entrust the honor and the interests of the State. They men who, in their own characters, faithfully represent the sentiments and character of the people of Georgia,' and who, enjoying the esteem aud confidence of those whom they represent, will command the respect and confidence of the true men of the Nurth. While they will do all that can be doue con sistently with light justice aud their owu self respect to heal the disorder of the times and re establish the fraternal relations of the sections, they will neither deceive the men of the North by false professions, nor betray their own constituents by unworthy con cessions. Gen. Gordon, in his eloquent address, spoke not only his own sentiments and feel ings, but also those of the entire Conven tion. We refer the men of the North who have Invited the representatives of Georgia to the conference iu Philadelphia to that ad dress, that they may see in what spirit Georgians will meet them. “All that we know ia, nothing can he known!" . I feel that the success of the Philadelphia Convention movement is of the last impor tance to American unity, the avoidance of dreadfal civil qgtr, and a preservation of re publican institutions. The weather Is intensely warm, and a severe drought pet prevails in this and cent counties. SorAe partial showers have fallen here and there, but quite inadequate to the need of vegetation. Com will certainly be cut down to a half crop. Cotton, although as the “salamander of crops,” standing the drought better, will make but a short yield, even at the best ealcnlation. On the streets here daily may be seen numbers of idle ne groes who before the war were producers. Now so many are mere consumers that it re quires no proficient in political economy to perceive as a people we must become poorer and pooer every year. And in respect to this visible vagrancy, which mere laws are incompetent to control, our little city is a mere type of what is to be seen all over the South. The few dozens here become hun dreds of thousands in fl dozen States. Labor applied to capital creates wealth. Labor withheld consumes capital. I have seen no estimate, even the smallest, of the cotton crop of 1866, which I do not think over the mark, for the reason of the ale comparatively small breadth of lands in cul tivation and the imperfect cultivation. But time will soon show. Whether the negro will make cotton, or whether white labor can be secured to do it, I am not sure; hut rice will have to be given up, I believe, unless other labor can be secured. I learn that in one, at least, of the best rice producing conn ties on the sea coast, the rice culture by free negro labor is turning out a failure. Can we get coolies from China or ryots from India to make rice ? Will some of yonr correspond ents throw some light on this question ? Gamma. Matters in Utah.—From a report made by the Commiitee on Territories, it appears that the-laws are openly violated throughout the Territory of Utah, and that nn armed force is necessary to preserve the peace aud afford security for life and property to citi zens of the United States residing therein. Among the witnesses examined was Joseph Smith,the son of the founder of Mormonism who says that thejBook ol Mormons explicitly condemns polygamy, aud that this system was not known as an article erf faith until Brigham Young became the leader of that part of the Church which went West with him. He states also that his father did not teach hostility to the Government of the ised action of the Philadelphia Con-1 Untied States, nor does it now, under his re.to be concentrated. The Cou- j presidency. elements in the Northern States, by .. in , , General Connor, who has been the military mhe people of the South to meet , . “ 1 F * commander of the District of Utah since 1862, testified that polygamy is taught as a funda mental principle of th e Mormon faith, and that the leaders persist ently urge the prac tice upon their followers. He also says that disloyalty and treason to the Government of the United States are habitually inculcated. It is regarded by good Mormons as not only them in a National Convention, acknowledge their dependence to some extent upon Southern votes aud Southern influence for the realization of the intentions of the Con vention. Why, then, should not repre sentatives of the South assist in the Executive Councils while the campaign is being fought CONVENTION OF * THE FIFTH CON GRESSIONAL. DISTRICT. The Convention of the Fifth Congressional District assembled iu Augusta on Saturday for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Philadelphia Convention. Hon. Wm. Gibson was appointed Chairman, aud Johu A. Seals, Esq., Secretary. A committee ap pointed to report business for the Conyen- tiou, presented the following resolutions, which were adopted: Resolved, That the Convention, approving of the meeting of a National Convention in Philadelphia, will s^id two delegates to represent this Congressional District in said Convention. Resolved, That Linton Stephens, of Hancock, and A. R. Wright, of Richmond; be selected as delegates from this Congressional District, aud James S. Hook, of Washington, and Dr. H. R. Caseo, of Columbia, be selected as their alternates. Resolved, That the Convention nominate as dele gates from the State at large Hons. A. H. Stephens, H. V. Johnson, B. H. Hill and Hiram Warner; alternates, Hon. W. H. Hill, Hon. Wm. Law, Hon. C. B. Cole, Hon. David Irwin; and that we respectfully request that these nominations be concurred in by the remain iug Districts of the State. Resolved, That should any necessity arise for any additional action on the part of this Convention in re lation to the choice of delegates from the State at large, the President of this Convention be authorized and requested to cast the vote of the Conventfbn. Resolved, That we cordially endorse the reconstruc tion policy of President Johnson, and will sustain him in his wis9 and patriotic purpose iu maintaining free government and constitutional liberty to the people o ^he whole country.

Horrible Affair in Meriwether.—We have ver bal reports from Meriwether couuty. in this State, of most revolting outrage committed by a negro man, and of the visitation upon him of terrible retribution by justly incensed citizens. A lady teaching school in a neighborhood abou seven miles from the Warm Springs, was on her way home on Wednesday of last week, when tbe negro met or overtook her and forced her into the woods, where he brutally outraged her person, and then tied her to leaders have assumed toanthovizp nrnl instifv atre e. In thia condition he kept her until Sunday, leauer.s ua\e assumed to autnonze and JUStllJ vi6iting her f reque ntly in |the meantime and repeat- iug his outrages, but giving her neither food nor water. On Sunday she was discovered by some white men, in an insensible condition. They restored her to con sciousness, when she related to them the horrible story of her wrongs, and told them that the negro would probably soon return. The men concealed themselves to await his appearance, and after a while he returned. They had him surrounded and immedi ately captured him. Confronting him with his victim they demanded of him to say what his punishment “lit to be. He responded that he deserved to be skinned alive. This judgment was at once carried into effect by his indignant captors. The negro survived the flaying abbot half an hour. We have not heard the name of the lady thus hor ribly outraged, and of the negro we only hear that he formerly belonged to a Mr. Lamar.—Columbus En quirer.

These things are great improvements on the old times, when the mansion was so long occupied by ex-Goveruor Joseph E. Brown.

There was no small diversity of opinion among the citizens here in reference to the propriety of seeking reptdsentafibu.in the Philadelphia Convention. One of our local papers—the staunch old Recorder—takes de cided ground against it. The other paper, the Federal Union, warmly favors a represen tation. The meeting of citizens last Satur day was composed wholly of those favoring representation, the call being made for those only. Had the meeting been general, it is doubtful if delegates had been appointed. The ground of opposition is not hostility or objection to the objects of the Philadelphia Convention, as now understood, but one of expediency merely. If delegates from the Sonth appear in the Convention at Philadel phia, the Radicals will charge that the whole affair is “rebeland if no delegates are sent, the Radicals will attribute their absence to a rebellious and “*tiff-neoke<T* spirit.

Among the advantages it possesses the most striking is the revolving nut,to which the power is applied,* instead of the screw. By this arrangement the follower block and levers are turned off, leaving the cotton box clean, and obviating the danger of bending the pin. - It is more powerful than the wooden screw, and we are assured that one taule, hitched to a lever sixteen feet long, will pack as heavy a bale as two. would do hitched to a lever 50 feet long, with the wooden screw.

WRIGHT’S Patent Improved IRON SCREW! FOR [Packing Cotton T HE ATTENTION OF COTTON PLANTERS IS luvited to tbe claims of tint invention, which, in SIMPLICITY. ECONOMY, DURABILITY and POtV EB, surpasses any machine for Baling Cotton ever before presented to the country. Irs great excel ience In these respects makes it THE BEST MACHINE FOR PACKING COTTON IN THE WORLD! 1. ITS SIMPLICITY.—It Is a new and improved application of tbe Screw Power; just as simple in its construction as tbe old fashioned wooden screw, as easily managed, and no more liable to get ont of or der. No ropes or pollies aa used in the cotton presses. 2. ITS ECONOMY.—It has been demonstrated by actual experiment to be cheaper than the wooden screw. The timbers used tn its construction are much smaller and fewer than those employed in the old screw; the levers being only 16 feet long, and tbe heightof the whole frame above the bed being only 10 feat. All these Umbers can be procured on the plantation, no matter how exhausted the forest. Any ordinary wood workman can build the frame, and half a dozen hands will put it up in a few honrs. 3. ITS DURABILITY.—The Screw and Nat are of Iron, and will last for yeare without any appreciable wear. The whole machine occupies so little space that it ran be completely covered at very amail cosh 4. ITS POWER.—With a lever only sixteen feet long, one male is sufficient for packing tbe heaviest bales. Planters who have nsed it say that, with two males, cotton may be compressed on this machine lor shipment This Screw was Invented just before the opening of the war, and v ha% subsequently never been very gen erally introduced. Tbose who have used it andaeen It csed, unanimously concur in the opinion that tt is PNTALLED AS A COTTON SCREW. Tbe following testimonials from some of the best and moat reputable planters in the country show the estimate In which this Screw stands with those who have tried it: We have used andaeen in operation for the-last five fean* Wright’s Improved Cotton Iron Screw, and foe! no hesitation in pronouncing it the very best Ootton Screw we have ever known. So highly ~ we esteem it, that, if practicable to obtain one them, we would have no other. It Is easily ba it, stmpie in its construction* not liable to get ont of order, packs well, with great power and with great facility. Id ward T. Shepherd. G. T. Banks. Elcanah Pace. W. H. Mitchell.
