TO OUR COUNTRT- PRIRNOS.
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 to the growing crops, the working
of the free-labor system, and fcindrsd matters, of gen
eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating
the same to us.
THE POLITICAL. STRUGGLE IK KEN-
TUCK IT.
Tide for fi^etkya 4
There are two candidates in Kentucky for
the Clerkship of the Court of Appeals. One
is the nominee of the Democratic party and
the other is supported by the Radicals. The
canvass, which is spirited and active, is re
garded with absofWng interest by the ob
serving politicians of the country. Ken
tucky is among the first to lead off in the
approaching elections, and as the result will
exert a moral influence upon the succeeding
elections in other States victory is of the
highest importance to either parly. The
Radical caudidate, Gen. Hobson, has some
military reputation to encohrage his friends,
and the Demoratic, Judge Duval, only
the record of an upright personal and con
sistent public life. The former is supported
by an organization which is acting in-harmo
ny with the political creed of the Radical Con
gress, the latter is the fearless champion of tlie
restoration policy of the President. Inasmuch
as the issue of the struggle involves the po
litical fate of the peoplo of the South, it
concerns them to know where the Demo
cracy of Kentn cky plant themselves, for it is
the only organized party in the country from
which, with the assistance of the Conserva
tive Republicans, they can hope for success
in the struggle with the despotism of the
dominant faction. We obtain the gratifying
information from our Kentucky exchanges
that the Democracy, including a majority
of those who sided with the South in the late
war, are not only hopeful bat confident of a
glorious triumph. ItTAs'-pfedieted, ifipdeed,
that the Radicals will be. so overwhelmed
with defeat that they will never venture again
upon the political arena in Kentucky. W’e
say God speed the expected triumph, for the
only safe foundation upon which to continue
our Government, is the simple, old fashioned
Democratic idea of a government of limited
powers, as defined by its original founders.
The perils of the Republic have fearfully in
creased as it has grown in wealth, in numbers
and in extent of territory. The present
crisis is demonstrating that it cannot survive
beyond a certain limit the increase of power
and expenditure, for these bring upon it the
destroying demons of unchaste ambition, cu
pidity and corruption. The present multi
plication of offices, continued enlargement of
the powers of Govern meijt, and enormous
expenditures, if not arrested by a revulsion in
popular sentiment, will give us no advantage
in our republican in stitutions over the most
despotic, aristocratic and rotten of the gov
ernments of the old or the new world.
THE CABLE.
Our latest Northern exchanges contain
some additional and Interesting particulais
relating to the Atlantic Cable. It is stated that
the entire distance run by the Great Eastern
between Valentia on the coast of Ireland, and
Heart's Content on this side, was 1GG9 miles,
and the length of the cable played out 1863
miles. The total Black was less than twelve
per cent. The average speed o f the vessel
was five miles per hour, or 120 miles per day.
The weather was remarkably pleasant during
the entire voyage of two weeks. The news
from Europe was received daily and posted
up on board of the Great Eastern.
The cable across the Gulf of St. Law
rence, connecting New Foundland with the
mainl and, which has been broken a long time,
will be immediately replaced with a new
cable. The want of this connecting link
has probabl y occasioned the delay in the re
ception of dispatches from Heart's Content.
It is sure, however, that the Atlantic Tele
graph line will be open for business in a few
days. The Great Eastern and the rest of
the fleet, after taking in coal, will proceed to
the point where the last year’s cable was
broken, and, if successful in raising it, the
parties engaged having a sufficiency of new
cable on board, will splice it, and, returning
Uf Heart’s Content, complete the second line.
Tbe North era papers complain enor-
mous charges — one hundred dollars for
twenty words-r- which tbo company hha estub-
lished for the transmission of maroigbo, and
it is thought will greatly dim inish its useful
ness. Another objection to it is the exclusive
ownership by English stockholders, with
both ends on British soil. To Mr. Cyrus A
Field, an American, is accorded the chief
credit of the grand achievement, in the face
of obstacles which have been surmounted
only by years of scientific labor and herculean
toil.
U8SIA. AND AUSTRIA,
stated that the lint news which the
Atlantic cable transmitted to America is that
a treaty of peace had been signed between
Aostria and Prussia. The simple fact was
communicated, without any details. If the
announcement is entitled to credit it indi
cates that Austria has been so completely ex
hausted by the rapid and vigorous onsets of
the Prussian armies a9 to deprive her of all
power to- protract a struggle, the result of
which mijst have been ultimately the surren
der of the capital to the enemy. It would
appear from thfs that Austria was without an
ally in Eurojie—for even Russia, the only
power whijtiijbas any direct interest in seeing
the system of 1815, for which Austria was
fighting, maintained 1n Germany, has held
aloof irom the contest. Thus situated, and
warned by the French Emperor that the only
points upon which the leading-powers of
Europe would intervene against Prussia,
were points which Austria herself might se
cure by a direct treaty^ with her antagonist,
it is not surpritihg that she has virtually ac
cepted the dictation of peace by Prussia. It
was announced some days since that the
Emperor of Austria bad agreed to an armis-
tiz—* : *- ! iA.on the loth of
Sjuly by the'king'ef Pririfeia, i * *
The condition on which this armistice was
tendered was, that daring its continuance,
Austria should either flatly reject or fully ac
cede loThe terms of peace which King Wil
liam anil Count Bismark had determined to
lay before her. What these terms were, in
detail, will not be known here, probably,
uiltil the'vrival of another staamei from
Europe, -s/ * • - „• .i »'
• In-1 ounterfeiting Vases—Screw Loose in
the Treasury Department.
The trial of the counterfeiters in New
York is being published' with vigor. The
disclosures, says the Herald, are thus far
extraordinary. . They show that “the man
agement of the Treasury Department, from
the beginning of Judge Chase’s administra
tion to the present time, has been danger
ously loose, if not wilfully criminal. The
issue of these counterfeit Treasury notes,
from impressions of plates waken in the
Treasury Department itself, is immense.
We learn that not less than seven hundred
thousand dollar? in these bogus notes were
sent to Europe By last "Wednesday’s steamer,
before the authorities had an opportunity to
seize them. The country is flooded with
these spurious bills, from one hundred dol
lars to the smallest fractional currency, and
so well executed are they that they defy
detection, except upon the closest scrutiny.
The Government prosecuting officer labors
under considerable difficulty in securing the
conviction of these counterfeiting gangs, on
account of promises of immunity made by
Washington officials to the culprits. This
is but little sfiort of compounding the felony,
and is reviving the stool-pigeon system,
w hich we had hoped was banished forever
from our system of criminal jurisprudence.
The District Attorney calls up a prisoner
and finds, to his surprise, that some Treasu
ry official has been before him, and, instead
of his being prosecuted as a criminal, he is
to be used as a witness. Many of the most
notorious pnjf djmgerotta counterfeiters thus
escape justice'ancrTeave the courts unscathed
and at liberty to prosecute their nefarious
business as they choose.
“We require mbYe vigor, more ibtelligijDce
and a more thorough system- of-overs ceing
in the Treasury Department, The stealing
of impressions of Treasury plates, ifie i jiving
out of enoimous financial jobs to private
outside parties, the deficiencies r.inou.uting
to many millions proved to exist in T’ce ac
counts of the Treasury officials, all gho w the
imbecility and corruption that have nt [irked
the management ot the Treasury Depart
ment from the time C’hase became its chief.
Chase was no financier and no business man;
simply a couutry politician w-ith one -sided
and partisan ideas about every public mut
ter' fto wonder abuses,' immoralitj’’ and
corruption crept into the Treasury Depart
ment under his imbecile management. And
to take the experience of the past year,
Secretary McCulloch has proved tfHjqjit ariy
as incompetent a financier as Chase, at id as
unfit for his position. The President sli ould
examine into the state of things as they
exist in the Treasury Department, and idler
being satisfied of their confused and corrupt
condition, select some competent person to
fill the place of^lhc present incumbent.

Panic in Augusta.—We infer from a n ar
ticle which appears in the Augusta Chroni
cle of Thursday morning, and from private
reports that have reached us from that city,
that there is quite a panic among the people
there in regard to the health of Savannah.
We can most positively assn re ouPOp-cquntry
friends that there is not the slightest ground
for their apprehensions. No malignant or con-
tageous disease exists at this time in Savannah
and we have only to refer to the official list
of interments for the past few weeks to prove
not only that the general health of the city is
better than ordinarily at this season, bat that
the mortality will compare favorably with
that of any other city of the same popula
tion, North or South.
The Vast Philadelphia Wigwam.—The
wigwam for the meeting of the National
Union Convention will be situated in front of

Punishment for the Crime of .Rape.—
The present.punishment for the crime of
rape is confinement in the penitentiary for a
term ot years. The Grand Jury of Fulton
coonty, at the recent term of the Superior
Court of that county, made the following
recommendation:
Wo would recommend to the Legislature
o? the State an amendment to tbs present
statute in case of rape, so far as to make it
punishable with death, instead of a misde
meanor, as now affirmed by law. Certainly
none deserves a severer punishment. The
sanctity of virtue demands it; public just ice
and female purity demand it; the satety of
society demand* it; it ia invoked by every
tremtilbqe tone of weak and detenceless
chastity ; it ia demanded as a shield against
the nnhc flowed embraces of unbridled bru
tality- ' : ' •
Dan Rioe’a elephant “Romeo” went on a
spree U'.e other day and ’ came near doing
much mischief. He was so intractable at
New Milford,. Pa., that Dan undertook to
bring him to terms. For this purpose his
bind legs were chained to a tree, and his fore
legs were fastened with a rope through»
tackle, upon which six men tagged iu the
vain liope to throw the leviathan. Willi a
blow of his trunk he released his fore leg,
; and by a tremendous effort broke bis chains.
The men scattered in irif IllWfetiofi^, pursued
by the animal. Ooc of them saved his life
by bounding over a fence, and the elephant,
for satisfaction, threw down a long span of
it. Tbey finally managed to throw him, and

[From the N. O. Picayune, 28th ult.]
Unfolding of the Plot.
A paper was circulated in this city yesterday even
ing, purporting to be a proclamation of Gov. Wells, or
dering elections to be held in certain parishes to fill
vacancies in the Convention of 1864.
We suppose it to be a genuine document, although
it. purports to be signed “under my hand, at the city
of New Orleans, this 27th day of July, A. D. 1868,”
when the Governor is known not to be within many
miles of this place. It also wants the attestation of
the Secretary of State, who has, we learn, rdfused to
countersign it, or attach the seal of the State, us is cus
tomary, if not material to the paper.
Not one of the State officers, W6 believe, elected at the
same time as Governor Wells, and on the same ticket,
forming with him the State Administration, agrees
with him in these extraordinary proceedings.
The paper was however, doubtless, issued by the
Governor, and is In that respect a genuine production;
but it is one he has not the shadow of authority for
issuing, and is of no more iegal force than it would be if
it had been issued by any other person, in or out of
the State.
It lias been demonstrated over and over again, that
the Convention of 18G4 has no legal existence in 1866.
It expired -by the'conclusion of it9 labors, and the
constitution it made. It attempted to prolong its own
•tence by providing that it might be reconvoked by
the presiding officer.
This Authority to convoke the defunct body was in
itself a usurpation; but it was a conditional authority
rested in a particular person to be exercised in a
single event; and there was no provision made for
the intervention of the Governor at all. That person
was the President of the Convention, and that event
the failure of the people to ratify the Constitution.
The President of the Convention was directed to call
it together if the Constitution were rejected. It was
only iu that event that the provis : on to fill vacancies
shoo’d come into force in that way. “Then and in
that case” he j the President of the Convention) might
call on the proper officers to cause elections to be
held. The case never occurred; the Constitution was
ratilied; the President of the Conve ition decides the
body to be constitutionally extinct; and the pretended
Authority, which was a usurpation, lapses by its own
terms, and leaves not a vestige of title or authority
anywhere, or in anybody, to fill vacancies in the body,
ali ve or dead.
Nevertheless, Gov. Wells has issued this paper,
V x. firing and commanding elections to be held to fill
the* vacancies which the very authority be recites de-
da res are only to be filled in the event that the con
stitution should be rejected.
It is the plainest possible case of the use of a power
whi th those who bwtowed it had no right to give, for
a pi ixpose different from that to which they expressly
limiitedit, and in a manner entirely different from
that which they prescribed.
T1 )e Governor bases liis proclamation on the report
of J ndgo Ilowall* as President pro tern, of the Con
vent tiou, wheirftadge Howell only presents a small
minority, which irregularly excluded the true Presi
dent—if there be a President at a 11—and is a mere
pretender to the authority, without the support of
inon* than a fourth of a quorum of the body ho affects
to speak for, but which the Governor accepts as the
sovereign authority of the State iu perpetual ses
sion.
Tlae proclamation does not call elections to fill va-
iu«;ies in the Convention as it existed when it ad'
journedin 1864 ; but to bring in new' members to the
number of 51, from parishes which were not repre
sented in that Convention at all. There is no notice
taken of vacancies which have occurred among the
members actually chosen and taking part in ito pro
ceedings.
The real fact we suppose to be, that a -majority of
tlie surviving members of the Convention is not to be
had in support of the Executive and his partisans,
and that it is designed to bring in by the new elec
tions, in which it is thought that no citizen of the
State, not in the Governor's clique, can consistently
take part, enough to get a majority who will sanction
everything done, however irregular, and depeud on
the Executive and a partisan judiciary which is in
confederacy with him, to overthrow a unanimous
Legislature, all the State officers elected by the people,
and impose a'new government on a disfranchised
people.
How this revolutionary scheme is to be met and
baffled peaceably and within the terms of the law, is a
subject for the most serious consideration for the peo
ple of the State. That there are means, we cannot
doubt; nor can we doubt that these will be taken with
a deliberation befitting the gravity of the occasion,
and carried throug with the firmness which such high
duties, in such emergencies require of patriotic citi
zens.

FEVER AND AGUE EXTINGUHHBD
Martyrs to Intermittent Fever, a word with yom.3ftie
responsibility for your suffering rests upon your
selves. Just as SHrilT as yon shake to-day. <* will
shake to-morrow, liOSTETTfiR'S CELEBRATED
STOMACH BITTERS will extinguish the disease un
der which yon labor. Had yon taken this genial
tonic as a preventive, you would have n j nee<P of It
as a cure, lor it renders the system impervious to al'
miasmatic fevers. Bnt since yon neglected the pre
caution, rid yourselves without delay of the com
plaint by resorting to tlie only reliable remedy.—
Break the chills with HOSTWTTER’S BITTERS, and
they will retnrn no more. This is the experience of
thousands, and it will lie yours. Quinine ia a alow
means or relief; it is nauseons to the last degree; It
is more dangerous than tlie malady Itself; in many
cases it utterly fails. How different ia the effect of
the Bitters. Their curative action 19 rapid; thd|r are
agreeable to the palate; they are not only entirely
harmless, bnt tend inevitably to strengthen the con-
stitotibn and prolong life: they never have failed, and
it ia confidently assumed that they never can fail in
any casse of Fevtr and Ague, however Inveterate in
its character. To be without Hostetler’s BUtere in
any regioa infected with luteiinitunt or Remittent
Fever ia simply to reject safety and conrt disease.
