The wither the pp.->t month has LeenTavorable, but not as favorable as last, year. , Some sec tions have Wen 4intS! by heavy’ and frequent rains. In the most northern sections of the State there has been a light frost, but no damage has been dope fo tdRe cotton*Crop.. Three-fourths of the crop has been picked and pick ing will be over generally by ; he 1st of December. On light sandy uplands drought and rust have done their work very effectually, and a very small yield from thus,, lands has been realized; but <5n bottom lands the yield has been greater than last year, due entirely to the very late fall. The out-tnrn of the State, however, is set down at five to sjx per cent less than last year, and the quality is much below the average Florida reportThirty replies were received from fourteen counties. The weather has not been as favorable as last year for gathering the crop. Very heavy and continued rains throughout the fall. No frost has occurred in this State. Two-thihls of-the crop is gath ered and-picking will be over by the 1st of December. Portions of this State have suffered from rust and cater pillar, and there is a general com plaint of rotting of bolls from too much wet, and not only is'the Quantity cut off but the quality hasbeeniojured The yield of the State is estimated at from eight to ten per rierit.-leds'iAian last year. Nobfolk, Va., Nov. 9, 1877 The Cotton Exchange reports the condition of cotton in Virginia aud has been generally quite favorable, with the complaint'in some localities of? too much min during the latter part of the month. No frost of any consequence *lias been reported, the light .frosts ex perienced being father beneficial than otherwise. About half of the crop is •reported ns lja.vi.ng been, nicked, and. picking will cease about December 1. The r«»rt§d yield will be on an ve? rage about ten per cent, less than Iasi year.” r New Orleans, Nov. 9, 1877. The National Cotton Exchange, New Orleans, gives the Louisiana crop re port for October as follows: We have sixty-four answers from thirty-one parishes, of the average date of Octo- l>er 31. The character of tbe weather has been universally bad, and, in fact, the most unfavorable for gathering the 1 crops ever known. Some report slight frost , with no damage, while tbe ma- 1 jrity slate great damage has been done by incessant rains and winds, causing the cotton to rot in the fields. The •average of the crop picked is about sixty per cent,, and picking, with some few exceptions, will be finished about December 15. The yield, compare! with that of last year, is estimate! to be decreased twenty-seven per cent, but much will depend on the character of the weather. Mississippi :-*-We have eighty-four reports from thirty-one counties, of the average dati of October 31. Tweuty report the weather fair to the 14th, and since then very rainy and unfavorable Six report'the Weather fair during the month. Fifty eight report very wet and unfavorable weather during the mouth, much more so than, last year at the same time. Light frost is reported f om some sections, but no damage was occasioned. Picking has been greatly retarded. Up to the date of our an swers fifty per cent, of the crop had been gathefocK;c Owing to the con tin u- ei rains picking will not be finished in some sections before January 1. The yield will be about twelve per cent, below that of last year, with a favor able season from this time. A large majority of the answgra report that heavfflgsto*. SjgteMv ffljured the cotton remaining in the fields, caus ing the cotton to;b© beaten, out and the bolls to raC ' " . ArfcAosas i-^Our 'report* is compiled from forty-nine answers received from twenty-four counties, of the average date of Oofobec-3il„ The weather dur ing tbe-whole df the past month has - been very wet and decidedly unfavor able for harvesting, as compared with the same time last year, There was lightens! In some sections during the month, bat this occasioned no damage -to the crop. Picking has progressed fairly. Up to the date of our answers sixty per cent, of the crop had been gathered and the remainder was ex pected to be picked by the 15th of De cember next. Tbe yield up to the present, time compaie3 very favorably with that of last year, but heavy ana continuous rains, accompanied by storms, have done damage to the crop, and much will depend on the weather during the rest of the picking season. Nashville, Nov. 9, 1877. The following is the October report of the Nashville Department of the National Cotton Exchange:—Middle Tennessee.—Thirty-five replies have been received. In regard to the weatb er thirty-two report it very good, and three that there has been too much tain; twenty-nine say it has been more favorable th^n last year, and six that it has been less favorable; tHirty-tkree report frost, but no damage, and two report no frost.

The acreage is not so lyge, but the yield is much better than last year. North Alabama:—Twenty-eight re- ies have been received.

The following is the report of the Charleston Cotton Exchange for Octo ber, compiled from 79 replies, covering 28 countiesFifty-two report the weather favorable ; 19 report from 8 to# days' wet, the^.oftbe n**h fayoyahje, aoflJLJepqrt unfavorable weather.

With good weather picking will he finished from the 15th to the 30th of November, except in six counties, where it will be later—say D cember 15 to 20. Compared with last year two counties report an in • crease in yield of from five to twelve per cent., and twenty-six counties a decrease of ten to forty per cent. The average of the State shows a falling of Executive Committee and called a primary election for Representative of Clarke county. Your humble servant: the. Secretary, in pnrsuance of instrhetion, carried the call for the fpi iui&r^ ilectlod oh tcir-uay to the Watchman to have it published so that the good people of Clarke coun ty could have ample notice of the call, and was assured by one of the inmates of the Watchman office that it would be published; but lo ! alas I Boarnerges was heard coming down the street, roaring clique, clique— don’t publish such an outrageous sheet. So the power behind the throne triumphed, and all was as calm and peaceful as a quiet sum mer’s evening. But, fellow citizens, Boarnerges, (ive will cal! him Boney for short) was not satisfied with this victory but must demolish what little influence the publication of this call would have on the public in the Athens Georgian, so lie goes to work and gets up a little circular to the effect 1. That Mr. Yanoy (who by the way is a very clever gentleman, and the writer has nothing in the world against him, except that he says that lie will run Independent. The writer is rather disposed to like CcL Yancy, from the fact, the Col. and the wri ter’s father went to school together at Moiiut Zion, to Dr. Bceman,) would mos respectfully ask the voters of Clarke countjr remember that he would like to go to the Legistureon next December, and that if the voters are of this; thinking, just be careful and not.dndp'.yhiir little ballot irito that clique-hole on to-day. the election is a fraud, a cheat, a swin dle, upon their franchises. Why did you not tell them that you had notice of the meeting-^-that w>u kept; the call oft the meeting out of the Watchman? Vo^efo of CJArke comity, jjhe Cdn- stitution and By-Laws of your Club do not require, that any specified number of tne Executive Committee shall constitute a quorum to transact this business. In fact, it is not necessary thatrtho Executive Com mittee shall have anything to do with the call to make it legal within the workings of the Club of Clarke county; so it was' only a courtesy extended by the Chairman, Dr. R. M. Smith, to. the Executive Corns mittee that lie notified them. No! Voters of Clarke county, if Boarnerges and his followers were honest in their attempts at reform, they would go into our election to day—for, what can be more fair and honest than a primary election, when every man can go to the polls and put in his vote for the man he wants to represent him in tbe Legislature ? What difference does it make how the primary election is called, grant ing, for the sake of the argument, that the one to-day is illegally or. irregu larly called, if all parties have a fair showing ? Ah! Boarnerges, it is only a prelude to the frail tenure of your Independent structure. Oh! Boney, Boney! how often would the good obi Democratic parly have gathered you and your little Boncys, like a hen doth gather her brood:under lier wings, but ye would not !! j ' ‘ f O /.

The decrease in yield is attributed to the drought in August. Owing to the late season there is very little stained cotton. To the Voters of Clarke County It is With regret that lam forced to appear in public, and especially in the newspapers, over my own signa ture; but a circular directed to the voters of Clarke county and stock up all over the city compels me to fore go my timidity in this respect and speak out, not for myselfj for I am no politician; don’t pretend to be, and have but one ambition in life as re gards secular affairs., and that is, to follow my profession and attend to the legitimate duties which grow out of'it, bnt for the Democratic party of Clarke county and explain to them a few things, which lie bidden behind the tlirono, and correct some erroneous by-laws of the Democratic ulub were turned over to me. I at fih-t refused, impressions which probably might havo been produced by the above circular. About a year ago I was notified that I had been elected secretary of Democratic Ex. Committee 1 of the Committee they novrir authorized the signing of their names to the caU fpr the primary election on to^da5' T nor do they' wish their names signed. Fellow-citizens, this is the truth about the matter : Dr. Smith and myself saw Mr. Dorsey near the Na tional Bank on last Saturday, and said to him ihrtClbe Committee was to meet at 12 o’clock on that day, and that we wanted him to be there. He said all right, for us to send for him when the time came. I went down to Mr. Dorsey’s store and told him that he was wanted, that the time had come, and he said that he was so busy that he could not leave his store; that for me to tell the Committee that whatever they done, he would ratity. He knew the meet ing was to call a primary election. I went to Mr. Bailey, at the Foundry, and told him that the Democratic Executive Committee would meet in a few minutes to call a primary elect ion to nominate a candidate for the Legis lature, and asked him if he didn’t think that that was as fair means as any that could be had to get the peoples’ choice and lie said that lie thought so; but said that he was rio longer a member of the Committee, that they had expelled him. I told him that his name was of record as at member, and that he was not expelled. He said all right that he would be up right away. We waited for hinv-sometime and he didn’t come; suppose he met Boarnerges on the way. So we concluded to go on with out him and under the -impression that Mr. Bailey wasa good Democrat and in favor of a primary election as expressed by him and understood by ui v w© signed name to the call. 3. That Mr. Bradbury and C. D. Hill never authorized any one to sign their names to that awful “pronuncia- mento ” l Han’t this a big vwd, fellow- citizens ? It is enough to kill any can didate in the world.

Since this I have tried to attend all of the meetings of the party, and to do my duty as a good democrat, which I profess to be. And I here Btate to the party that if th*^ tlii' Denocratic ma chinery carried oat and run-at :it should be they .must get .somebody else—Ihore. is Ljjuftluiig .[lukewarm about me. But I am digressing. Since ray unfortunate election as Secretary there has arisen a mighty (?) movement in the land styled the Independent movement. Its fame has gone abroad to the uttermost ends of the earth.(?) There is a man whose wonderful characteristics might style him the great Boarnerges who, it is said, is the Icaierof this mighty movement. He says that there is nothing good can oome out of Nazareth—that awful Democratic party composed of cliques and in. triguers who thrust darts at liberty and the right of franchise. It is said that he sees in his sleep virions of cliqnes and hears of rumors of conventions. There is no medicine that can relieve him from these nocturnal dreams. Unfair is the motto of Boarnerges unfair T unfair! unfair! Yet, fellow citizens, this awful Dem ocratic party bad a meeting about a week ago through a majority of its of theDem. Ex. Committee, and told him that there..was to be a meeting at 12 o’clock, and desired him to crime. He' wrtd Hurt trims impossible,'as hts business would not permit it, and that anytniitt' tber Committee would do wriuld >be ratified- by himself, - Jno.

Bsapberr)’ says, now; that hc’herif tily approves of the action 6f the Committee, and that it is all right Mr. C< D> Hill-says the same thing, and says that, the Committee did right. . 4. That Mr. Tilly says that there were but three parties present at the meeting of this clique in that “back store” This is correct, but I say that all of the members of this Committee signed to this call were hesbrd from by promineut Democrats of Clarke coun-, S , and that they were'represented in' e Committee, and that this “pro- nunciatnento/’ as Boarnerges calls it, speaks their sentiments, and that they will support the man chosen by the election to-day. Farther, I notified Bqarheiges or, Boney for short, who was’also a mem ber of theDem. Ex. Com. of Clarke coun ty, himself, of the time and place of the meeting, and that he must be there. Boney, for short, said that be would not come, and that he would resign; and yet, oh! thou “Boney,” you call upon the “Fair-minded men” of Clarke county, and tell them that Noy and Then.—It is only now and then that such men as Hon.
