Ae much interest is felt throughout the country in
regard to the prospects of the colton and other crops
we will be grateful to our planting friends, and
others in the interior, for information on the snb-
j ect. Our factors and others who have opportunities
for obtaining valuable information in regard to the
growing crops, and anything of interest in relation
thereto, will confer a favor by communicating the
same to us.
The Sew* and Herald Job Office.
This establishment has recently been enlarged and
added to by new material, type. Ac.—the whole un
der tlie foremanship o! Mr. A. J. Dodge, who was
superintendent before and during the war, of the
large establishment of Evans A Ooggswell, of Charles
ton and Columbia, S. O., who is well known as one
of the best practlaal job printers in the country. The
proprietor is prepared to receive and promptly ex
ecute orders for all kinds ot plain or fancy work,
cards, labels, hill-heads, posters, programmes, tick
eta—In fact, any description of job work done in i
well appointed job office. The patrons of the eatab
lishment may be assured that full justice will be
done to their orders, both as to workmanship, ma
terial used, and the price. Now is the season, there
fore, to get yoar job work done, and get it done well
In the line ol fancy printing, in colors or plain, the
work done at the News and Herald office will com
pare favorably with that issued by the large establish
ments of New York and Philadelphia. We invite our
iriende to an inspection, and they can judge for them
selves.
planting friends will find a letter
of interest to them headed “bagging and
how it is made.” As cotton is so high it is
worth while to pack it and secure it well.
The Legislature.—Contrary to general
expectation, nothing of importance trans
pired in the Legislature yesterday, exeept a
resolution calling for a Special Committee to
investigate the charges of felony against A.
A. Bradley, negro. After some discussion
the motion prevailed, and a committee was
appointed for tbat purpose. This is all that
is needed; ihe evidence against him is strong
enough to damn anybody bat a negro, and
is, we think, in this case sufficient even for
tbat pnrposs. The little Radical dodge to
kill Alpeoria off before the election, so tbat
soms one coaid be ran in by the negro vote
who coaid qualify, did not succeed, and we
hope to see Captain Bnfns E. Lester, the
Conservative candidate, occupy the place to
which he is entitled by the rightfal votes of
this District.
HO NOalHATIOSI TXT.
Yesterday the Democratic platform for the
campaign was adopted. It will give satis
faction to every patriot throughout the land,
aB d it is a square, flat-footed document which
there is no getting aroand, and any one who
accepts the nomination upon it will have no
chance to construe any clause iu it two ways.
This simplicity and straightforwardness in it
self will command the support of many voters
outside of the real Democratic ranks. It is
an honest document—no Chicago training.
The platform, of course, regards the old is
sues of slavery and secession as dead. It
declares the infamous reconstruction laws as
unconstitutional and void, and says that the
question of suffrage belongs exclusively to
the States; and that Congress has usnrped it
in violation of the Constitution. It advo
cates equal taxation on all property and
one currency for all, and says that the
United States bonds are payable in curren
cy unless the face of them calls for coin.
It says that economy mast be used in the
administration of the government, and to
further this aim the army and navy should be
reduced, and that great Radical machine,
the Freedmen’8 Bureau, must be abolished.
It proclaims the wholesome, but in this lati
tude, almost forgotten tenet, the subordina
tion of I ha military to the civil anthority.
advocates the restoration of all the States to
their fall rights in the Union, amnesty
for all political offences, and the restoration
of the right of suffrage to those who have
have been disfranchised by Acts of Congress.
The ballot daring the day showed that
Mr. Pendleton is the strongest man so far
But the dispatch says that as yet it is merely
skirmishing. The delegation from this State
voted for Mr. Blair, of Maryland, on the
fourth ballot.
Our Washington dispatch states that the
politicians there are ail at sea in regard to
the nomination, bat that Mr. Chase’s friends
claim that be will receive a strong vote on
the tenth or twelfth ballot.
By Telegraph.
Good News ieom Mississippi.—As has been
foreshadowed in the dispatches from Jackson
during the past week, the Democracy have
carried that State and defeated the Radical
Constitutiou by over eleven thousand majority.
"We may safely claim the victory, as the ma
jority is too large to be --sharp and quicked”
by the Bureau agents in that State. The Dem
ocratic nominees for President and Vice-Presi
dent can count on three Southern States—
Virginia, Mississippi, and last, but not least,
Old Georgia.
The Brunswick Banner.—This neat and
enterprising sheet, which was started about
three months since in our sister city, (to be)
does credit to its proprietor, Mr. B. C
Franklin, and we hope that when the Brans
wick Railroad is completed he will reap the
fruits of his energy and perseverance in be
ing compelled by a good subscription list and
plenty of advertising to expand into a
daily.
St. John's Day was celebrated in Bruns
wick by Ocean Lodge, No. 114, F. A. M.,
which met at the City Hall and formed a
procession of thirty-eight members and visit
ing brethren, then marched to the Methodist
Church, where Rev. Brother R. J. Corley
delivered an appropriate and eloquent ad
dress. So says the Banner.
Wanted, a Doo.—The Gainesville, Fla. New
Era, gets' off the following : “ Wanted, at
this office, a bull dog, of any. color, except
pumpkin and milk, of respectable size, snub
ncse, cropped ears, abbreviated continuation—
who can come when called with a beefsteak—
and will take his pound of flesh from the man
who squirts tobacco juice on our floor and
steals the exchanges.
The President op the National Demo
cratic Convention.—Hon. Horatio Seymour,
the President of the Democratic Convention,
is at the head of the New York delegation
He is justly considered the leading man of the
party, and is looked to by the masses of his
native State, He is a native of Onondiga
county, N. Y., and educated to the law. His
first office was that of Mayor of Utica, and he
was a member of the Legislature from 1842 to
1845, inclusive, and was speaker of the Assem
bly during the last year of his term. He has
twice been Governor of his State; was elected
the first time in 1852, and the second time in
1862. He was three times defeated as a candi
date for Governor: the first time that he ran,
by Washington Hunt, who had a majority over
Seymour of 262 votes. The next time, or in
1854, he was defeated by a split in the Demo
cratic party, between the Hards and the SoftB,
the Whig candidate receiving 309 more votes
than did Seymour. The last time he was
defeated by Radical frauds and Radical seizures
and detentions of the soldiers’ votes. He has
been, in every position that he has held, an
able defender of the rights of the people and
Constitutional law. No man has been more
bitterly assailed than Seymour for his course
by the opposition press and leaders; but, in
every instance where he has been attacked,
time has fully vindicated his course, and in sev
eral instances the justice of his position has
been sustained by the highest courts of the
State. His political speeches rank among the
ablest, most remarkable and convincing efforts
of the times. He was the presiding officer of
the last National Convention.

Slavery and Secession Dead Issues.

TIONAL, &c., Ac.
PENDLETON AHEAD.
Ballot Scattering.
FIRST DISPATCH.
New Yoke, July 7.—Cagger’s death w
announced in the Convention.
Resolutions from Hon. Alex. H- Stephens
were read and referred. Tne name of Ste
phens was cheered.
The platform was unanimously adopted
amidst immense cheering. The following
are the points:
Slavery and secession are regarded as dead
issues.
United States bonds to be payable in law-
Jr kr 0 l money unless the face calls for coin.
0 1' Equal taxation on all property including
coin. One currency for all.
Economy, and the reduction of the army
and navy. Abolition of the Freedmen’s
Bureau and inquisitorial dens for collecting
the revenue. f
A tariff for revenue only.
Subordination of the military to the civil
authority.
Restoration of all the States.
Amnesty for all political offenses including
restoration of suffrage in all the States.
The control of suffrage belongs exclusive
ly fo each State. Congress has usurped it
in violation of the Constitution.
The reconstruction acta are unconstitution
al aud void.
Thanks returned to President Johnson.
It invites all parties to nnite on this plat
form.
The Convention proceeded to nominations.
Connecticut nominates English; Illinois,
Richardson; Maine, Hancock and Pendleton;
New Jersey, Packer and Johnson, and
Parker and Church. Many others were
nominated,Chase's name was not mentioned.
On the first ballot Pendleton received 105.
The Southern delegates nearly all voted for
Johnson.
On second ballot Pendleton 994; Packer
26 ; Johnson 52. Others scattering.
The contingent expenses of the Senate and
House show that snuff, corkscrews, lemons,
pantaloons and several other things are issued
to toil Senators and Representatives as “sta
tionery,” and, in like manner, the “stationery”
item in the Freedmen's Bureau bills is presumed
to cover the general issue 1 to negroes of razors,
which seem so essential to the celebration of
Radical victories in Washington, and which
were used so freely in the negro riot in the
Freedmen’s vii’age, near Washington, on Tues
day. As this village of razor-armed blacks,
who are supported by the Bureau, is a creation
of Congress, it would seem as if these African
Arcadians were entitled to their share of the
rifles and batteries which Paine’s bill proposes
to distribute. Let them have rifles instead of
razors; and, as H. U. Grant remarks, “Let us
have peace.”—New York World.
Ous State Delegation in New York.—
The Sun, of Saturday, says the Georgia dele
gation occupies parlor No. 3, at the hotel oppo
site the new Tammany Hall. At a meeting of
the delegation held yesterday morning, an
organization was effected by the election of J._
R. Gordon, permanent President, and Henry
Moore as Secretary. Only one of the delegation
was missing from the meeting, at which it was
decided to take no prominent part in the Con
vention, but simply to follow the drift on the
part of the members. There is pretty equal
division between Hancock and Pendleton,
which will most likely result in a divided vote
on the first ballot. After that they will act
most likely with the New York delegation, . H
which, notwithstanding all outside pressure to nothing to complain of. Our hands have

Thomas County, Ga., July 5, 1868.
Editor News and Herald :
Yon ask yonr friends in the surrounding
counties for news of the growiug crops and
other Items of interest. Onr corn suffered
8 ome from drought up to two or three weeks
ago. We have had flue rains since, and the
injury, if any bad been done, has been folly
repaired. From indications now, we shall
have a very full com crop. Another good
rain will secure the oldest beyond a perad-
venture. Cotton is also doing well, but the
rain that is making the corn is running it too
much to weed. Bust is also beginning to
show itself ; on the whole, though, we have
the contrary, is in favor of Pendleton in the
majority and Hancock in the minority
The Southern delegatioiSTfefe generally in
session, though some Of them did nothing more
than meet and separate. GenerallyTthey dis
played a very liberal spirit, and promise to meet
the Northern Democrats on a common ground.
They appear confident of carrying most of the
Southern States in the coining election, if the
platform and candidate are selected with care.
The-Oase of Lieutenant Bbaine.—Gen.
A. B. Magrudeiy the connsel for this unfor
tunate ex-Confederate officer, has addressed
a letter to the Attorney General of the
United States, setting forth the foots in re
gard to his lerg imprisonment, Gen. Magru-
cler in conclusion says : “Does it become
a great government like ours—a fraternal
government, formed “toestablish justice,
insure domestic tranquility and -secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our
posterity”—to grind to powder a helpless
and unresisting victim, simply because it can
- do so ? Because it possgsasaa lion’s strength,
must it use it as a lion ? The war is over.
Do weAesire to add another to the multitude
of its victims ? Now that the passions to
Which it gave birth have had time to subside,
must, we fear, open wounds almost cica-
triced by sacrificing on the bloody altar of
vengeance one poor victim more, and be the
last wreck of the strife, the. sole remaining
close prisoner Of that'vast number whom
the'chantes of war have left in the hands of
the conqueror ? Ho W much more honora
ble and manly to close’the last scene of the
dreadful tragedy by an act of grace and
magnanimity! i To set the captive Dree ; to
restore the head to that stricken household,
celves well. If there be no flagging in gath-
-ering time, (1 mean no disrespect to Captain
W.’s banner.) we hope to come oat all right
and “owe no man anything."
We are qniet politically, but anxious that
the New "York Convention should give us a
good man for President. Democracv is gara
ging ground, and maDy negroes will vote with
the party in November who have heretofoie
gone the “land and male” ticket. A fair
showing at the polls is all we want to defeat
Grant, tbongh he may “continue to fight it
ont on that (.lying) line all summer. ”
The dwelling hoose of Dr. Ledbetter, four
miles south of Boston, in this county, was
destroyed by fire on the night of the 25th

by a defective cooking stove in a room ad

loss, except the house, was between two or
three hundred dollars.

Mb. Fessenden.—Mr. Fessendens letter
declining the dinner tendered him by Boston
Republicans is published. It is a clear and
vigorous statement of the motives and rea
sons which controlled his course upon im
peachment :
“One thing the people had a right to de
mand of me before and above all others—to-
wit: tbat in discharging the great trust they
had committed to my hands I should shrink
from no responsibility which that trust im
pose, and allow no coward fears of personal
consequence to lead me astray from the path
oi official dnty; and l flattered—perhaps de
luded—myself with the hope tbat the testi
mony of a life including more than fourteen
years of consecutive public service would
protect me against the vile calumnies of
those who sought and affected to find for
course of action by which I could gain noth
ing and might lose much motives criminal
or mean. This hope was founded on a be
lief in the intelligence and candor of the
American people, who seldom foil eventually
to justify those who serve them faithfully.
I am proud and happy to acknowledge that
von, gentlemen, have strengthened and con
firmed that confidence.”

BAGGING, AND HOW ,T I* MADE.
New Yobk, July 4,1868.
Editors News# Herald.--You will no doubt
hear all abont the political aspect of onr
great gathering in this city without eny
reference to it from me; so I will choose
a different subject, and one more in
accordance with the real, tangible, pres
ent interest of us poot, miserable, un
fortunate cotton planters.
Yon know that the Rigging we have been
using for many years comes from India, and
for some time past has been deteriorating in
quality until it is now a thin, slazy, worthless
article, that affords no adequate Becnrity to
the great staple which (in our country,» we
use it to envelope. The loss in the weight of
our bales of cotton from the time they leave
the screw, until they are sold, is a matter of
constant complaint, but I can readily ac
count for it when I see the bales at our
sea-ports almost stripped of the worthless
stuff we buy for Bagging, and the “raw
material” escaping all the time. So mnch
by way of preface.
Since my arrival,.! was accidentally in
troduced to Mr. William Marshall, of the
firm of Messrs. Lawrence, Waterbury & Co.,
and I mentioned the grievance above re
ferred to when be asked me if I had ever
seen the Bagging branded with two an
chors, made "by the New York Bagging
Company. My negative reply brought fortn
an invitation to visit the manufactory, and,
escaping from all the turmoil of this huge
city, l crossed to Williamsburg, where,
taking the street cars for 'some three or
four miles, we arrived at the extensive
buildings occupied for the purpose of ma
king rope and the Double Anchor Bagging.
I will not weary you with the rope walk,
as it afforded me little interest aud great ia-
tigue, but after walking through miles of
sheds ana getting tangled np in the intricate
machinery, Mr. Mars h ill at l&at relieved our
tired and distressed countenance by turning
towards the bagging manufactory which is
so near and yet so far after one has been
through a rope walk. Oace in the building,
however, everything is of interest. The first
thing that meets the gaze is pi'es of bales of
jnte about the size of a bale of goods from
the ooltou factory at Augusta. This US 0

New Orleans, Jnly 7.—The seats of seven

whom ten are from the Parish and City of

In the House a motion to go into Senato
rial election was tabled. -
‘raw material” as it comes Irom that far-off
country where so much cotton is raised un
der so much difficulty. As soon as the cov
ering is stripped off human hands seem to
qnit Its manipulation, and the ingenuous
machinery, perfected by year, of labor and
thought, roll It, and toss it, and pick it, and
smooth it, rad twist it. ana weave it into a
strong and durable article for our use, of
packing cotton. Strength fa a great object,
so ibe warp and filling is of equal size, and
as the machinery can’t cheat you like one of
the weavers in India, yon may count on a
regular even running fabrio tbat will always
give satisfaction. It fa said that the weavers
in India get abont two oents per day with a
little rice ior rations, and from the specimen
of their bagging we get it seemB they go on
the principle of “poor pay, poor work.” My
enquiries as to how such cheap labor could
be competed witb, met with a response by di
recting my attention to the machinery, which
never tires, don't eat anything, and never
asks for the paltry pittance of two cents
per diem. Added to which, the jnte, in
its unmanUclured state, pays little or
no duty whilst the manufactured article
fa called Gunny Bagging, and pays quite
heavily.
I did not, of course, feel disposed to ques
tion the pries when I was assured tbat it
would be sold at the same rate per pound as
the article, imported. This, would make it
oost abont one and a half to two cents a
yard more than the ordinary Gaony, bat its
weight more than brings the return compen
sation at present prices of cotton, and thus
taking into consideration that if your cotton
is packed in it, yon ate sure it will get to
market in good order, what else can be
added.
I might say a good deal jlo e abont ti'a
excellent article, bat fear you won’t read it.
However, I will trespass on your patience
one moment to beg you to recellect the name
of William Marshall, and if be comes in
way, treat him kindly, for be is the
s of Good Fellows, and is worthy < t
your esteem, and withal, the '
friend of the South.

item from a letter from Atlanta,in the Macon

In the midst of all the tnrmoil and excite
ment attendant on the meeting of the Legis
