As much interest is felt throughout the country in regard to the prospects of the cotton and other crops we will be grateful to our planting friends and others n the interior for information on that subject. Those who have opportunities for obtaining valuable infor mation in regard \& tl4e 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. JUDGE FLEMING'S DECLENSION. We publish in another column a letter from Hon. Wm. B. Fleming, declining to serve as delegate from this Congressional District in the Philadelphia Convention. We regret very much, as will the friends of the Convention in this Congressional District, that Judge Fleming is unwilling to accept a position which he is so eminently qualified to fill. We cannot agree with him that in entering the proposed Convention, under the call of its movero, the*'delegates from the South would be required to “repudiate" the political principle^ in which they have been educated, and for which they contended in the late war. In our opinion such of these principles as affect living practical issues, may still ^be consistently entertained by those who with Judge Fleming “sympathise” with the great- object of the Convention—‘ithe object of or* gauizing a patty for the support of President Johnson and his policy of reconstruction”’ There are questions on which the North and South held different opinions in the days ol the old party organizations, but which djd not then prevent the cooperation of North ern and Southern Whigs and Democrats ; and since they have been practically settled by the results of the war, we can see no reason why the men of the South may not, unite w ; th the conservative men of the North of whatever party, in an effort to de feat the Radicals and preserve the Constitu tion which they seek to destroy. But we do not desire now to discuss the question of the propriety or expediency of Southern repre sentation in the Philadelphia Convention We will merely repeat what we have before said. Wo can see no good to result from re-, fusing to accept the invitation to be repre sented in that body, while we have reason to hope that much good may result from acom pliance. We repeat that we regret that the First Congressional District will be deprived of the services of a gentleman as delegate; in whose prudence, wisdom and integrity the hon or and the interests of the South may be so safely confided. FW ACTIPWAL ; , . S»YB>eonrAfl£ Tliti currency Is getting to be an ini ble annoyance. What with the number of counterfeit:bills in citculation, and tbeir filthy character,. this currency is fitly char acterized a* an intolerable nuisance. The. question naturally arises, is there no remedy? We apprehend not,*while the entire mass or volume continues greatly depreciated. Were depreciation not-to exceed five or even from seven to eight per cent., relief might be found ifi raising the nominal so to exceed the- real value as not to present an induce ment to export a silver coinage, but when the ‘ nomifial value orsllver,; or its value in greenbacks s° far efceeds *s real value as bullion, this Is unattainable. A few licts with regard to the history of ouj coinage would be instructive, as they appear to have been forgotten, and they should be recounted as a guide to our legislators, whenever they see fit to restore the "Standard. It is wellJtQown that our Government has committed two opposite errors as relates to our coinage.

We go there-upon invitation, and in good faith, and if churlish ly received,'the discredit rests not with the guest, but with the host. We go there avowing our desire to forget the animosities of the past, and to lay l£e foundation for a better understanding and mutual prosperity in the future''. If, with these views and pur poses, our company is declined, it may.be a misfortune, but it is no discredit. Our dignity and self respect will not have been compro mised in the smallest particular.

THE ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS. The adiournment of ho r h .Houses of the National Legislature, which occurred on Saturday la9t, 13 an eveut universally deemed mo9t fortunate tor the interests of the coun try. It is indeed a great boon to the entire uation, but especially to the South, for it cannot be denied that it has been but a neg ative body from the commencement''to the close of the session, vigilantly and even recklessly thwarting the great purposes of restoration as projected by the President, and keeping alive elements of division and animosity betwixt the sections whicli otherwise had been allayed months ago. Tue shameful fact will ever appear iu history that notwithstanding the issue made with the President there has emanated ftom Con gress not a single legislative proposition whicli may be dignified with the term policy. The series of disgraceful measures proposed by the dominant party in that body have all come to nought, and nothing has been af firmed by enactment but an'impracticable constitutional amendment which the requi site number of States is not expected to ratify. Their great and distinctive measure, the enfranchisement of the negro, upon . which they rallied with so much unanimity last winter, has signally failed ; and they have admitted Tennessee without a single pledge on that subject. It has been a mere negative Congress animated by the spirit of faction to perpetuate the disruption of the States, and the base desire to prevent a re union of the people as far as it was able. By standiug so nobly and successfully be tween the mass of the Southern" people and the malicious purposes of sectional politicians the President has entitled himself to the warmest regards of those whom he has thus protected; and it must be gratifying to him to know that the people of the Southern States are neither unmindfaLoi; nor ungrate ful for, the favors thus accorded to' them, although it is not to be' im| one, placed in Mr. Johnson’s position, could have failed to interpose more or less ener getically to save the nation of which he is the executive head from a course which would have been a stain upon the civilization of the nineteenth century, and entailed upon the country a reproach that would have en dured for years to come. The proposition of Senator Trumbull to interpose by some aort of legislation a negative to the power of appointment and removal by the President during the recess of Congress, was not ac'ed upon. It was doubtless considered impolitic to pass it, even if they had the power, which is doubt ful. THE BANKRUPT BILL- We regret to see that the bankrupt bill in Congress has finally been postponed until next December, the majority in each House being too much engaged, we suppose, in tbeir attacks upon the President to mature and pass it. It is a standing reproach to the United States that no general bankrupt law exists in the United States. All of the en lightened nations of Europe have laws of this character which have been in existence for, perhaps, more than a half century. At no time in the history of this country has such a measure been needed more than at the pre sent writing, and particularly in the South, where thousands have been reduced to hope less poverty by the calamities of a desolating war. If a financial burst up should occur in this country, whicli is not improbable, it will be owing, in part, to the omission, on the part of Congress, to adopt A measure which is alike recommended by justice, huzoapity, and sound policy. ?. The Cholera at Tybee.—The report from the island to-day is of the most encouraging character, showing, as it does, a rapid abate ment of the cholera. There was but one death yesterday and" n new cases. The e are now under treatment eighty-four old cases, and yesterday four of the convalescent, were discharged from 'the hospital and re turned to- duty. We are gratified also to learn that the gene ral health of the troops is improving. silver a legal tender at the commencement of legislation, there arose a necessity of adjust ing their relative value, so that their mint or standard should conform Ja their market value. In 1792, when thejflPi of our coin age were adopted, the value of silveras com pared with gold was as lf» 1-2 to 1.00, or, iu other words, one ounce of gold was of the value in the markets of the world of fifteen and one half ounces Of silver. Gold was, therefore, undervalued as compared with sil ver in our laws, and presented an induce ment to its exportation for the sake of profit. AVe consequently could not keep any gold in circulation. As rapidly as it was r ined it was exported. It is a well known law of currency that the cheaper will banish the dearer circulating medium. The coins were .to be the eagle, the half eagle, and the quar ter eagle in gold; the dollar, half dollar, quar ter dollar, dime and half dime in silver ; the .pent and half cent in copper. The weight of th"e eagle was to be 270 grains Troy, alloyed according to the English standard, one part in twelve : and the dollar was to weigh 41G grains, alloyed one part in nine and nine- tenths. This state of things continued until 1834. From tiie organization of the mint five and a half millions of dollars in gold pieces were coined, and not one dollar remained in circu lation. In that year Gen: Jackson was de termined to restore our gold currency. What was called the gold bill was enacted by Con gress ; but that, body went to the opposite ex treme'of their predecessors in 1792. They' undervalued silver as they had previously un dervalued (/old. The consequence was that we lost all our silver coins. Instead of fix ing in our laws the relative value of gold to ■silver as one to fifteen and one half, the then market vatoe, they fixed it at one to sixteen. There wa9 a distressing want of silver ebauge. The weight of the eagle was reduced to 2, r >8 grains from 270, and the alloy increased to one part in ten from one part in twelve. This increased the legal valuation of gold C.;'8 per cent, as compared with silver which remained as before. In 1853 very important alterations were made in our silver coins. Up to that date the law made both gold and silver a legal tender. It was then determined to make gold alone the legal tender except to the ex tent of $5, and to reduce the weight of the half dollar and their subdivisions so that their nominal value should be considerably above their real valpe as compared with the silver dollar, and thus tbeir exportation be prevent ed. Accordingly the weight of the half dol lar was reduced from 206 1-4 grains to 192 grains, and proportionally of the smalle’" coins, consequently the half dollars and lesser coins were overvalued in our currency, and a nominal dollars’ worth of them worth 7.42 per cent, less than a silver dollar. The result of these measures has been to estab lish gold as the real currency of the country, and to make .silver entirely subsidiary to that. The current value of the silver coin in the currency is sufficiently above its market price in bullion to prevent the exportation oi the coins. Now, it will be easily perceived how im- practicable it would be, while the currency clearly, coaid it be said that we had been in vited to a conference of reconciliation and refused to go, Jn*mere distrust that we should not be well received. The Finale op the Habeas Corpus Case— Mysterious Removal of the Prisoners.— The Charleston Courier, of Monday, says: “The prisoners, Messrs. F. G.Stower9, Craw ford Keyes, Robert Keyes, and Elisha By- rem, who have been confined in Castle Pinckney since their conviction by a military commission, and for whom a writ of habeas corpus was recently sued out by their coun sel, Hon. Armistead Burt and General James Conner, were on Saturday night carefully re moved, ander guard, from theirplace of con finement, and, it 19 believed, sent North be yond the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for South Carolina. We have not been able tb learn-upon what authority, pending the decision of the President in re ference to the habeas corpus writ, the prisoners have been thus removed. TbU mysterious proceeding would certainly appear to ignorg the fact ot the existence of a United States Court in this State. Letter from Hon. Wm. B. Fleming. Savannah, July 31, 1866. W. T. Thompson, Esq.—Dear Sir: Your note on be- half of the Chatham county delegation to the Conven tion held at Blactshear the 27th inst, informing me that I had been unanimously elected by that Conven tion to represent the First Congressional District in the National Union Convention to be held in the city uf Philadelphia on the 14th Angnst, and expressing the hope that I would consent to serve my fellow-citi zens in that Convention, is this moment received. I might decline on the ground that I am on the eve of leaving Savannah for the summer with my family, and cannot very well alter my arrangements; but I feel that it would be disingenuous to do so; for if that were the only obstacle I would not hesitate to make any sacrifice of personal convenience in order to serve my fellow-citizens in any position to which they might be pleased to call me. I must therefore give the true reason of my declining. I have not the call for the Philadelphia Convention before me, but ac cording to my recollection, the principles of the party about to be formed, as indicsted by the, terms in which the Convention has been called, are, many of them, such ss I can never subscribe to. In onr pres- eat condition I doubt the policy of amalgamating with any national party, and least of aU with a party that requires, as a condition precedent to our admission to its ranks, that we should repudiate the political prin ciples in which we were born and educated, and in sup port of which we waged a long and bloody war. That we failed is no evidence that we were wrong. It is no, the first time that might has overcome right. For these reasons, I must decline the very flattering honor e .inferred-upon me. I am sorry that I did not know of your intentions in time to prevent my election. Permit me, in conclusion, to say that with one ob ject of the Convention I deeply sympathize—the object of organizing a party for the support of President Johnson and his policy of reconstruction, and hope that the anticipations of the friends of the Convention in this respect may be realized. *, Respectfully, Ac., W.

CONVENTION OF THE SEVENTH CON GRESSIONAL DISTRICT. The Convention of the Seventh Congres sional District, which met in Atlanta on Sat urday last, elected as delegates to represent that District in the Philadelphia Convention, Hon. Richard F. Lyon, of Fulton, and Hon. James Milner, of Bartow county. The fol lowing gentlemen were appointed Alternates: T. T. Smith, W. M. Lowry, H. C. Barrow, D. S. Prentiss, A. J. Hansell, Lewis Tumlin and J. R. Parret. A proposition for the delegates of tfee sev eral District Conventions, to meet in Macon on the 3d day of August next, to nominate delegates for the State at large, was adopted. Radical Inconsistency.—It is stated lhat that any Tennessee members of Congress are to drew their pay from the commencement of the session. Why fa If Tennessee was not a State in the Union until her Legis lature passed the joint resolution to amend the Constitution, certamly she had no right to representation in Congress prior to that time, according to the Radical theory, and if not, why should these men be paid for s crvices never rendered, and which they had no right to perform? Was ever inconsisten cy more strikingly illustrated than in this re markable instance of self-stultification. Very Severe on Stanton.—The New York Herald says: “Every once in a while we hear that Secretary Stanton is going to leave the Cabinet, or is not going to leave the Cabinet, as the wind may happen to blow. The latest news is that he has become a convert to the Philadelphia Convention, and will retain his portfolio. This is about the worst thing that we have learned about the Convention ; but still so ‘long as t^e ■ lamp holds au to burn the vilest sinner may return,’ We would like to be informed, however, why Secretary Stan- ton clings to his'office withfmeh persistency, sacrificing for it not on ly his avowed political opinions, but his self-respect. What is there in the War Department that he is so anxious to conceal? Clearly, an investigation would not be out of place in view of the strange con duct of the Secretary. Where are the detec tives ? English General J. C. Walker.—An paper states that.Mflj Gen. J.-C. Walker, of the late Confederate army, has been ap pointed Colonel of an English regiment. General Walker cammanded a division in the Army of Tennessee, serving with distinc tion through all of its campaigns, and. especially distinguishing himself at the aie|e, of Nashville, in 1864 Another Cholera Preventative.—A St Louis correspondent stntes that “No one will be attacked by cholera who wears sulphur in his socks.

ITS SIMPLICITY.—It Isa new and improved application of the Screw power; just nnsimple in its construction as the old fashioned wooden screw, as easily managed, and no more liable to get ont of or der. No ropes or pnllies as used in the cotton presses. 2. ITS ECONOMY.—It has been demonstrated by aotual experiment to be cheaper than the wooden screw. The timbers need in Its construction are much smaller and fewer than those employed In the old mew; the levers being only 16 feet long, and the height of the whole frame above the bed being only 10 feet. AU these timbers can be procured on the plantation, no matter how exhausted tue forest. Any ordinary wood workman can bmld the frame, and hall a dozen hands will pnt it np in a few hoars. 3. ITS DURABILITY.—The fccrew and Nut are of Iron, and will last for years without any appreciable wear. The whole machine occupies so little space that it ran be completely covered at very small cost. 4. 1T3 POWER.—With a lever only sixteen feet long, one mule is sufficient for packing the heaviest bales. Plsntsfbwbo have used it say that, with two mules, cotton may be compressed on this machine for shipment. This Screw was invented Jnst before the opening of the war, and has subsequently never been very gen erally introduced. Those who have need It and seen it csed, unanimously concur In the pptaion that it is USKiVALLEJ* AS A COTTON SCREW. The following testimonials from some of the best mutable and must reputable planters in the country show the estimate in which this Screw stands with those who have tried it: We have used and seen In operation for the last five years, Wright’s Imf .oved Cotton Iron Screw, and feel no hesitation in pronouncing It the very best Cotton Screw we have ever known. So highly do we esteem it, that, if practicable to obtain one of them, we would have no other. It is easily ba it, simple in its construction, not liable to get ont of order, packs well, with great power and with great facility. EdwardT. Shepherd. O.L Bulks. Elcanah Pace. "W.

WE, HAYING been appointed General Agents for Georgia and Florida, are new ptepered to exhibit every etyle of the above Machines. See circular below. Circular. We claim for the Flounce the following advan tages over any and all Sewing Machines: r* It makes four different stitches, the lock, knot, doable lock, and doable knot, on one and the same machine. Each stitch being alike on both sidea of thefbbric. r Every Machine has the reversible feed motion, which .enables the operator, by simply turning n thumb screw, to have the work ran either to the right or left, to stay any part of the seam, or fasten the ends of seams, without turning the fabric. r The only Machine having n self-adjusting shuttle tension—the amount of teuton always being in exact proportion to the susof"&e bobbin. r Changing the length ot stitch, and from one kind of stitch to another, can readily be done while the Machine tain motion. f The needle Is easily adjusted. It is almost notselew, and can be used where qniet is necessary. rits motions are all positive; there are no spring* to get ont of order, and lu simplicity enables the most inexperienced to operate It. Iff It does not require liner thread on the under than for the upper side, and will sew across the heaviest seams, or from one to more thicknesses of doth, without change of needle, tension, or break- lag thread. The Hemmefla easily adjusted and will torn any width of hem desired. W~ No other Machine will do so great a range ot work aa the Florence. r It will hem, fell, bifid, gath&rinatd, qoDt. and gather and aew on n ruffle at the tame time. The taking np of th* alack thread is not performed by the irregular contraction of • wire coll or uncer tain operation of wire levers. The precision and ac curacy with which the Florence draws the thread Into the cloth is unapproached u> any Sewing Ma chine hitherto offered in the market. We rnrnUh each Machine with “Barnnm’s Self jwer,” which guidea th* work Itsail, and la of in calculable value, eapadaUy to Inaxparianead opera- tore. rit Is rally protected and Ucaaaed by Elia* Howe, Jr., and bis tsaodnlu, and ear own Letter* Patent. While possessing the above, and many other ad vantage*, the Florence ia aold at correspond!ag prices with other flat clam Machines, and a careftri examl nation will fully snbatantiate all that wa have claimed for it, and Justify the amertlon we now make, that U la th* best Sewing Machine in th* worM.
