Thing* in General
Things in general are very dull. , Rains
have been abundant all over the State. The
wheat crop is extravagantly large. Corn
promises to be plentiful. Cotton looks rath
er slim. The State Hoad is doing a heavier
freight business than it has ever before done.
The newspaper business in Atlanta is thriv
ing—all the printers at work, and more want
ed. News, though, is rather scarce ; but the
last item which we received is important
coming as it does on the heel of the Ken
tucky elections. We get it from a reliable
source. It is this :—
Joseph E. Brown will be elected Gover
nor by a majority npver before polled for any
candidate in Georgia. It will not exceed
30,000, and will not be less than 20.000

to which Mr. Peabody informs ns be ha* in

all doubts «« to its productiveness. He al
so offers the inducement nf a walk through

conductors of the press, as will accept' the
invitation, to look thTongb mv ground and
see the corn in all bearings. Also to look
at my Strawberry Grounds, and partake of
u collation, such as the circumstances of the
case will admit of. To the press do we
look for correct information upon the grow

Tilts iv an old and wise adage. On the
present occasion we refer to it for a special
purpose. One of us at least, hat had some
experience in the conduct of a public jour
nal. In every political conflict, save one, for
ver a quarter of a century, he has lieen en
gaged, and those who are now in the politi
cal-irena, that can date their experience as
tar back as he can, can testify that editorial
labor and responsibility have, by no manner
of means, increased in Georgia, so as to make
•t necessary, in 1857, for outsiders
advise, direct, or dictate his course.
The other of us, though inexperienced,
hopes to prove useful and win the approba
tion or the public in the part he shall play, ag
one of the Editors of tins paper. When t.e
assumed the responsibility of becoming a
journalist, he v. as self-reliant, satisfied that
he would have to labor ere he could secure
the confidence and lavor of the public. But
he did not anticipate outside ad vice, •or out-
We heard a good anecdote yesterday, says
the’Cdtaitibus Sun, and thoffglt it may awaks
en aoiffMinpb-asani retni n it sen cool n the mind
offlfeoMlthe actors, we think it Inn goad not
to And ft* way-into the pnperrf. Everybody
that klgfws Tom Judge, the iMfcated eiindis
ilttie for Ton gross in the Third District of
Alabama, knows that he is a whole-souled,
genersas fellow, and does frequent nets ot
kindness for his friend* and acquaintances
in and about Montgomery, and by this means
has acquired an unbounded personal popu
larity pwtdci he greatly relied on lo sustain
him through the late campaign. Indeed, ho
presumed upon those acts ot kindness in so
liciting votes for himself, and not unfrequent,
ly with suecess, hut there were eases where
principle was stronger than personal friend
ship, even in the breast of a poor and friend
less man, as the following anecdote will show:
Oil the day of election, as one of the re
cipients of Judge's kinduess was about to
east his vote for the candidate of his choice,
and Judge perceiving that it was in opposi
tion to himself, lie accosted him in a tone of
surprise, “ Are you not going to vote lor
me I” Being thus addressed, and supposing
that Judge presumed on the favors he had
conferred upon him in thus soliciting his
vote, the sovereign drew himself proudly up
and said, 44 Col. Judge, you have conferred
many furors on me, and 1 am thankful to you
for them, and if you ehargo anything for
them I will pay yon, but Dowdell advocates
my principles and I must vote for him.”—
Whereupon, our informant states, Col. Judge
hung his head aad marveled that tliero was
so much purity in a Democrat.
/’; ogress of the Mobile and Ohio Railraiil.
From the Mobile Evening News, we
learn that two vessels arrived at that port
on the 31st inst., each with a large quanti
ty of iron for the Mobile & Ohio Railroad.
One of the vessels brought 2,087 bars iron,
and the other has 1,502 bars, and 4,102 fish
ers. The work of track-laying, which has
been for a long time suspended for the want
of the material, will now probably be re
sumed and continued with energj', and
without interruption, until the final comple
tion of the road to its terminus on the father
of waters.
St-.-amship Building in England.—We see
stated that at this moment there are no
less than 300 hundred steam propellers,
ranging from one thousand to fifteen hun
dred tons, building on the Clyde and in the
ports of Great Britain. The British steam
engine builders were never more busy than
at the present time, and we learn that Na
pier, the celebrated steam engine builder,
has more work engaged than can be execu
ted by him for tiixec years to come.
Xoi Exactly So.—The New York Post,in
referring to the immense sale of Dr. Kane's
last expedition, said, fearing the result of
the salt, he offered to sell las entire interest
to the publishers for #5.000, but the latter
declined. This is not exactly the truth;
tin- doctor asked the publishers if he could
realize #5,000 from the sale. The publish
ers told him they would guarantee thut
amount whether it sold or not, as they felt
satisfied they could realize for him #50,000.
They have made over that for him by the
sale.—Ledger.
iiuuitn Blseiplin.—In June last a confla
gration broke out at the hamlet of Bardoak,
and consumed 192 house*, among which
was a house coupied by the in valid* in garri
son there,. Betore this house a sentry was
posted, whom, in the hurry and confusion
incidental to the fire, nobody thought of re
lieving. The private who was on guard,
named Pankov, remained at hi- post though
the house was burnt down, and then his
ntry-box ; and it was not till after his own
cloak had caught lire that help came in the
shape of a non-commissioned officer, who
released him. The Emperor has promoted
the private to he a non-commissioned officer,
presented him w ith 50 roubles, and had his
name and his firmness immortalized in the
general orders.
. Distinguished.irri vats.—Among the passen
gers by the steamer Europa, at Boston, are
are two young English noblemen, who have
probably corne over to make the tour of the
■States. They are Lord Althorp and Lord
Hervey. Tire first is the son and heir o
Earl Spencer, a descendant of the gn u:
Duke ot Marlborough, and a neuhew o
Viscount Althorp. the distinguished states
man who w as chancellor of the exchequer
in the Melbourne administration. Lord
Hervey is the second son ol iht Marquis of
Bristol. They arc both quite young, and
twenty-five, and unmarried..
Yankee, all Iher.— Bayard Taylor says
that a Y ankee, in walking in St. P
burg, one muddy day, met the Grand Duke
Constantine. The sidewalk was not wid
enough for two to pass, and the street w as
very deep in filth—w hereupon the American
t ,ok a silver rouble from Ins pocket, shook
itinliisclosed hand,and cried out: 44 Corwn
or tail V* “Crown!” guessed the Grand
Duke. •- Your Highness has won," said
the American, looking at the rouble and
stepping into tin; mud. The next day the
Y'ankee was invit' d by the Grand Duke to
dinner.
.if Dangrnus PenintufUt.—The Montgome
ry Messenger hn« been shown a counterfeit,
S urpui'ling to be a five dollar bill on the
lank of Georgetown, South Carolina. The
counterfeit has a figure of liberty on the
right hand side which is not in the genuine;
on the left mind side of the counterfeit is an
eagle—oft the gred bill a female head. The
counterfeit can readily be detected, as all
good five dollar hills on the Bank of George
town have a red cheek bark. The color of
the priuting is rather pale, w hen compared
with tits genuine. The engraver’s imprint
on the good bill is “Rawdon, Wright,
Hatch A Edetl, New York,’.’ while on the
counterfeit it is 44 Toppan, Carpenter & Co.,
N. Y." This counterfeit is dangerous, as
it is a new issue irotn the den*, and one
which lias not yet been expoted by any of
the published detector*.
Pro-Slavery Paper in England—The Day
Book publishes the prospectus of an English
newspaper, to be called the Manchester Cotton
Press, the first number of which will make its
appearance in November next It is intended
to represent the cotton interest, of which Great
Britain is the centre, act! is established by gen
tlemen connected with the various branches of
the cotton trade.
It will also discuss the negro question and
‘the nature of the negro, and investigate the
laws of his wise and human,'government, with
out relation to the abstract theories of Mr.Wil-
berforce and of Exeter Hall on the one hand,
or to the Extreme and brutal ideas of the Cu
ban plauters on the other."
Exsi.isii and American Gi ns.—From the
report of a recent debate in the English Fur
Lament we extract the following t
Lord Rivenswortb asked the .Secretary of
War whether the government intended to
send tbe monster gun east at Liverpool to
China, iu fulfillment of the promise which
they bud given to employ it against the ene
my. And also why a " contract had . been en
trusted by the government for the manufac
ture of several guns of large calibre to a gen
tleman in Americi, instead of being placed iu
the . and* of an English Grin.
Lord Paumure said experiments bad been
made with the gun which fully established ir-
great value and power, but he thought there
wit no necessity for conveying a gun of such
•normous weight ami calibre to China. He
was not, therefore, prepared to give a pledge
that the gun'would lie employed against the
Chinese. With regard to tbe second question
of the noble lord, he might state that the gov
ernment had ordered six guns of an American
gentleman namel Eastham, who had intro
duced an improvment into the manufacture of
heavy piece* of ordnance, and had taken out a
px'ent for it. The guns six in number, hud
been received, and be believed that the prin
ciple upon wnieh they were constructed was
generally approved. The guns could no doubt
have been cast in this country, if Mr. East-
hant i,ad wished, but it was ids own patent,
art! he hud a right to cast them where he
thought, fit.
‘I he Advantage ok Beixu Thin.—There
is an advantage in being thin, People of spare
flesh'oru generally tin- most, lucky individuals
in the world. In a crowded omnibus, though
ever fell, room tan always , be made for a
thin spare-bored iudiviJual. lo a shipwreck,
the spare mun always stauds the best chance-,
for escape. If the ferry boat has just lift the
slip, the thin Iran by a slight spring is sure
to iatid on the deck of the boat, while the fa'
individual leaps ioto the water. If the stage
coach upsets, the man of rotundity breaks a
leg or bruises his baud, while spareyLoncs es
cape- totally uninjured. Ifj riDl/m a crowd,
the former becomes vexed and irritated, but
the latter creeps through tbe slightest fissures,
and hor/ifr) on his way. If at a concert the
thin roan finds himself surronn ed by crino
line, he compresses himself into a ramrod, a ud
suffers no inconvenience; whereas the fa* man
on the eat behind him, who is sim.larly situa
ted, fairly gioaos in his misery. We an-very
thankful that we are thin.
Is gal If if —George 111., having knighted
a gentleman name ) Day at a levee held on tbe
29th of .September, said:
Now I know ! qgjji King, for 1 have turn
ed Day into Knight, and have made Lady Day
Michaelmas.
On one occasion, when I,is Majesty came
out cf the House of Lords, after opening tbe
MMioo, be wiid to the Lord Chancellor,
‘Did 1 d'-tiver that speech well?
Very well, indeed, was the reply.
I am very glad of that, said the King, for
there was nothing in it.

himself, and throw tip his arms, and straight
ened oat his legs, and said to the doctor? by
way of an introduction, "We have some
very hot days now.’’ Ottr friend Sawbones
looked over his glosses, and surveying the
gentlemanly stranger as one would a bank
bill never before seen, mentally pronounced
him “all right;” and replied: "We had in

gentlemanly strauger stated ho "was from the
South also,and was happy to meet a South

about the-city ;’’but his “maxim ever was, bu
siness tint pleasure afterwards." Our triemi,
the Washington M.Q., was delighted to find
so pleasant a companion, and was persuaded
to walk np town with his new friend, who
had a little bill to settle of seventy dollars,
the cloning np of his purchases. Our M. I).
took the walk, tod they sauntered up Broad
way, but hi* polite acquaintance hardly kuew
anything of the lions pf the city; be had been
so busy bo could not find them out. Pres-
scntly they arrived somewhere near No. do
it was about hero lie owed his bill; but a stran
ger gels so confused iu this noisy city ; As our
M. I). utid his friend were breaking their
necks in looking up to read the sigus, a gen
tleman bobbed out of oue of the stores with
his hut off. “Ah. my dear sir,” said the friend
of our M. 1)., “1 was trying to find your place
—1 will settle that little affair.” lie pulled
out four twenties and handed the new comer.
This last genius could not make the change;
the friend of our M. f D. was perplexed; he
turned his pockets inside out, but had noth
ing but the four twenties—he owed just sev
enty. Our M. 1). was appealed to change
a twenty; he had not change enough- Could
lie lend his business friend ten till they got
back to the hotel, and lie might take the
twenty in the meantime? Our M. D. could not
be so small as to take tho twenty, but be lent
tbe ten. I be bill was paid ; they walked back
di-cu-ciog New York and its wonders, ami on
their arrival our Southern merchant asked the
Doctor to just look at the evening paper while
tie stepped to the office to get the twenty
changed. Our M. 1). was seen reading the
evening paper several hours after that, but
the Southeru merchant had not brought that
change. *‘M. D." whs tbe next day a wiser
but a poorer man.
Imperial Prodigality.—The money that
Louis Napoleon speuds in entertaining visitors
causes much grumbling among the Parisians.
During the sojourn of the king of Bavaria at
Fontainblean, not l*-ss than 1167 persons were
ted, lodged, and entertained in the most ex
pensive manner by the Emperor, with the
people's money. Hospitality on this occasion
was carried so fur that not only board and
lodging for the noble guests, but in most eases
clothing likewise, was provided, in the shape
of grotesque masquerades, imitated from the
Grand Yenetie ol Louis tjuinze—nnd the but
tons in all eases were provided at the Emper
or’s expense. Of these, some were of jewels,
some of plain gold, according to rank held in
the hunt, or the degree of imperial favor en
joyed by the wearer. To fill up the deficit oc
casioned by this lavish extravagances, all kinds
of mean inventions are in request—the pension
ers of the civil list. re made to wail, the sale of
tbe postage stamp restricted to the general
postoflice, and‘the wind raised' in various
ways.

that he could feed them with electrical fluid at
any time when the state of the atmosphere
was favorable; whereupon a grave old gentle
man said solemnly,

WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE.—
This woutlerlul preparation is having un ex
tensive sale in all parts of the Union. It is
one of the few patient medicines which arc now
sold over the country that are really what their
inventors claim for them. Whenever it has
had a fair trial, the result hus been precisely as
Wood predicts. It has never fniled to turn
tbe white hair back to tbe uatural color, whet 0
the directions have been strictly followed and
iu numerous casts it lias restored the hair upon
beads that had been bald for years. It is not
pretended that it will make tbe hair grow in
every case, but where it fails there is certainly
no rem.dy. I he restoration of the hair has
been effected in so many instances where tbe
ease seemed utterly hopeless, that it is certain
ly worth while for all who have lost their hair
to try tho experiment ol using a bottle or two
ot Wood’s Restorative.—[Moline Workmen.

stale ofthe Earl ofSpencer, which comprises
10.000 acres, divided into parks, meadows,
pastures, woods and gardens. His library
contains 50,000 volumes, and is said to bo
the finest private library in the world, The
Duke ofRiehmond’s home farm consists of
23.000 acres, or over 'hirty-five square miles,
and this is in crowded England, which has
in all an area of only 50,000 square miles,
or just 32,000,000 of acres, giving,-were the
land divided* hut two acres to esu h inhabit
ant, The residence of the Duke is fitted up
with -oriental magnificence. Twenty-five
race horses stand in his stables, each under
the care of a special groom. The dishes ami
plates upon the table are all of porcelain
silver and gold. His aviary is supplied with
almost every variety of rare and elegant birds,
and large herds of cattle, sheep and deer are
spread over the immense lawn.
The same authority from which we gather
these facts says that the Duke of Ddvon-
sh ire’s palace at Chatsworth excels in mag
nificence any other of the kingdom* He
spends the whole of his enormous income]
In the grounds about the Uou*c are kept
400 head of cattle, and 1,400 deer. The
kitchen garden contains twelve acres, and
is filled with almost every species of fruit
and vegetable. A vast arbor .tarn connected
with this establishment is desigued to con
tain a sample of every tree that grows,
There ia also a grass cofiservatory, 387 Icet
in length. 112 feet in breadth, 07 in height
covered by 57,000 square feet of glass, nnd
warmed by several miles of pipe conveying
hot water. One plant was obtained from
