We ii;ive already given a brief nc fount of this sad affair, which was re rtlivcd by telegraph, and in which the Itanicoi the victim which, erroneously **|sriven as Ila rt instead of Ilartnuis.— I The Nashville Danner of the 14lh eon ' > * t»ins the following additional purlieu •"♦lars : Intelligence reached the city yester day evening of an affair at Jackson, the details of which may justly exciic the indignation of every honest and law libidmg man, no matter to what party be may belong, ihioughont the Stale. Our information comes from one and the responsible citizens of West Tennessee, ami may be strictly relied on as the main facts stated. At Jackson are stationed two com panies of militia, For several days, tinder the pretence that the “Rebels” ati attack, they have been cm* g: g and in taking arms from the people of that town and vicinity, They have not hesitated to enter and search hou ses, instill women, and pilfer whatever within their reach, besides com- Raining a series of other outrages, f which we have neither time nor space at present to mention. All this was done in the name of law and order by the legalized military custodians of the peace of Tennessee. Last Wednesday a eorporal, in charge of a squad of militia, stopped on the street Maj. Thos. Hartemns, a member of Gen. Hates’staff during the war, and demanded to know whether lie had a pistol Maj. Hartemns re plied that he had, look his weapon from his pocket and handed it 1o the corporal, remarking, however, that he considered such conduct on the part of the militia a usurpation and that he surrendered the pistol under protest. — 'l’his was said in a quiet, u»inpns.sion r ed tone peculiar to Major llartcmus and no further words passed. With out any warning whatever, and almost before Maj. 11. hail ceased speaking, the militiaman raised his gun, look de liberate aim and shot him through the breast. As socn as the murder be came generally known, which was but a few moments after its perpetration, the wildest -excitement prevailed throughout thetown. The people had borne with some degree of patience the | indignities and insults ofmany months, I but this last crowning outrage seemed all hope of deliverance. - Muu' was called mi the eoi’.i t-liouto ;.

Ann: nut from their hiding phi 1 * Vail tlie preparations begun ■generally precede a bloody Bk. Armed men commenced to arri'e Irom all parts of the county, and had it not been for the counsels and interference of the older and wiser portion of the community, the militia would have fared illy. A feeling of des peration was abroad. No man knew wli.tn his like would be taken by these legalized ruffians, and all felt that de , cii ive action, no matter what might be ihe odds, could not be too soon ta ken. In the meantime the militia were a wnre of what was going on and made preparation to stand on the defensive. While the bitterness on boll) sides was hourly growing more bitter, and a sail * jrttitinry collision seemed almost inevi table, a detachment of United States troops, which had been sent lor, arri ved at Humboldt. The commanding officer once took stops suited to the emergency and dispersed the citizens. As soon as these troops arrived a dis patch was sent from the militia camp for the negro company stationed at Trenton to proceed at once to Jack son. With the cowardi se «f the con science stricken, the militia feared an attack was to be made on them by the regulars. Fortunately there was no i trther disturbance, nod up to a late hour yesterday evening all was quiet at Jackson. At last accounts Major llartcmus wound was considered mortal, with hardly a possibility that lie could sur vive nfany hours. All who know and Jove him—and they are scattered throughout the breadth ol the At ate —will receive wilt deep sor row, the particulars of the tragedy bv which he met his fate. No soldier of the Confederacy made a more bril liant record. Since the close of the war he has practiced law in Jackson, his native town, and has exercised a commanding and beneficial influence in that section ot ». he country. He is a iniahle, almost to a fault ; the last matt in world who would provoke or force a quarrel. We did not learn whether the perpe trators of the murder had been arres ted. Judge Bond, who is now holding the Circuit Court at Jackson, declared however that the guilty party should be taken “dead or alive,” General Cooper states that all the Information lie has received about the affair was contained it’ a briet telegram, received Thursday night, to the effect that two of the militia had shot a man and that an attack from the citizens was apprehended. The King of the Pumpkins. —lt is ille custom at the “Halles” the great center market,) to crown the largest pumpkin brought to Paris as the “Ivin;, of Pumpkins.” This year’s gourd ■weighed more than two hundred pounds, and was seven ieet in circumference. The ceremonv consists in decorating with flowers and ribbons the huge vegetable, and bearing it triumphantly around the market, followed by all the market people, singing the popular songs of the day. Charivari says . * >\\ e hear the’y have been crowning the ‘King of the Pumpkins ;* just as well crown him as any other. —l uris Let ter. It is said that the lion ?s, G.

MILAM E.iito- l'roprictors. £artmvi!le C:i. Get. 11, 1567 ouit pai t. Our readers can, at once, see that we have greatly enlarged our paper, this week, It is now the larger ! country weekly paper in I'her ofcee Georgia, an i we design making it a pa per worthy the patronage of the people of the place and section in which it is published.— We have a growing and prosperous town of nearly two thousand inhahitanta, which will ultimately reach five thousand, and the sur rounding country unsurpassed in many re spects. It must not he understood that we enlarge our paper because wc are flush of means. Far from it. The paper is not yet, by any means, what we want it to he or even ought to be.— Itisenlarged.it is true, but not improved in typographical appearance os it should be and would be ifall our patrons would do their du ty. The means with which to buy new type is credited out and we cannot g-ct it—or have not, as yet. Again, we have some business men and houses in our midst who are with holding the pittance due the printer, and who are sharing the prosperity of the town that the newspaper is largely instrumental in securing, and who get the benefit of reading it without paying for it. Some men fail to see that a newspaper is of any advantage to a place or community, or that anything else is except their own business. But we rejoice to know that Cartersville is not very sorely afflicted with that class of men and houses; most of our business men are lending us a helping hand in some way. Ow ng to the late day in which we deceived our paper this week, alic the consequent difli culty in re-arranging our forms, we have been compelled to omit many editorial notices as well as much miscellaneous matter, and have been very tight run to get up as much unß- f as we have. We promise more in the future*. Facts an«l Figures for Cotton Planters. The so lowing article we clip from the Co lumbus Daily Enquirer , and commend it to tbe perusal ot our -renders : Editor Enquirer: —l propose (in a series of communications) to show the cost of raising cotton in America and India, to show the errors [’hitters have been and still are committing, and the remedy. I begin with an estimate of cost of working a plantation, say one consisting of 1200 acres of land, 50q acres in cotton, 300 acres in corn, &c., and 400 acres in wood and waste lands. The 800 acres to be worked by 50 laborers cultivating 10 acres in cotton and 0 acres in corn, &c., to the hand* and using 24 mules, 33j acres to the mule —say Hire of 50 laborers, at average price of $ 125 per annum $0260 Cost of bacon. 182 pounds to the laborer, 9100 pounds (for 50) at 16c.,about.. .. 1450 Blacksmith’s work and iron to keep up plows, wagons, &c., in same good condition as commenced with ; also, for hoes, axes, traces, harness, flames and all plantation tools 1000 Insurance against death and theft of 24 mules,-value S4BOO, at 9 per cent 432 Depreciation of mules by age, per annum, value S4BOO, at 0 per cent. 288 Superintendence ot overseer, his board, L 12^0 Depreciation of land, houses, gin, screw, &c., annually * sOh State and County taxes 100 Bcntol land, or interest on land, mules, provisions, &c, valued at $20,000, at 7 per cent 1400 No estimate for ptovisions, as it is sup posed the 300 acres will replace the amount consumed 900 No charge for bagging and rope, as it will about refund cest 000 Cost of operating plantation $12,070 As the lands will differ in production, I submit the following as the yield per acre so that it may he seen what it costs under dilferent conditions: I begin vvi'h 300 pounds per acre of reed cotton and extend up to 1500 pounds—say 300 ibs seed cotton on 500 acres, yields 45,000 pounds lint, ats2S 15. gives $12,667 400 lbs seed cotton on 500 acres yields 6U.000 pounds lint, at sl2 12, gives 12,672 500 fcs. seed cotton on 500 acres yields 75/00 pounds lint, at $1690, gives 12,675 800 lbs seed cotton on 505 acres, yields 120.- 000 pounds lint, at $lO 56, gives. . .. 12.672 1000 llis. seed cotton on 560 acres, yields 150- 000 pounds lint, at $5 63, gives. . . .12,667 It will thus be seen that the richer the land the less cost of production, aud in an increas ing ratio, that is worth the close attention of Planters. Land that will not produce over 600 lbs. per acre had b-tter be left uncultivat ed, as it costs more money to produce it than the present prices, which range (free of tax) from 11c. to I3jc., averaging 12}c; unless the planter can be sure of 800 lbs. or more per acre, he had better let his land lie uncultivated and select laud that will produce 800 lbs. or more, or m ike it rich enough to do it. I now submit the cost of producing cotton in India. Cost of production of 20 acres accli mated New Orlear.- seed) cotton in India : Labor of cultivating, including hire of laborers, oxen, feed, &e., 95 rupees— s, and. equal each to 2 shillings sterling. . . .£9 10 0 Local tax to government lor assessment, &C., 19 rupees 1180 Ginning and packing, 30 rupees 3 0 0 Cost of cultivating 20 acres £l4 8 0 which produces 13<'0 lbs. and cost about 2|d. per lb., which-reduced to our currency at 40 per cent, for gold, is equal to 7jc.. while the average cost in America oa lands producing 600 lbs. is $ 14,C8. The cost of labor tor abie bodied men there, averages lOd. or 28c. per dav in our currency, laborer finding himself m everything, ar.d only employed when required for working and gathering the crop. Our laborer costs for hire and meat alone slsl per annum, full 58c. per day. aud is employed all the year round, rain or shine, wanted or net. To such competition wc must yield, unless we cultivate alone the richest lands, or make rich all the land we do cultivate. Before the war the Fast Indies sent annually to England an average of 500,000 bales; during the war they increased it tooi.-e milieu; tirst year after the vrarthev sent one and a half millions, and this year’s planting is said to exceed alt former plantings by * 0 per cent, i hese rapid strides in increased culture, (asalso in Egypt, Brazil. <Scc..) will continue so long as they undersell us Before ihe war wUu the l*bjr was owned and formed the great capita! of the country, our planting interest prospered from the increase of that capital, in ttie increase of the negro and the increase of his value.— There was then no other profit from planting. Some seasons when good Crops brought good price?, a sm *lf sum remained after discharg ing the current expenses of the plantation, but quite as often it. less favorable seasons, or from low prices, the crop failed to discharge the year’s expenses. We can all bring to mind the fact that the one who paid up his obliga tions when the crop was sold, was considered the thrifty planter, while a large majority left a portion of their debts unpaid. It is tru* his estate increased with the increase of his ne groes, hut it is clear he made no money from the plantation, or only enough to keep it up. TLen we kept back production in the rest of the world, because cur profit, was in the ne groes, now we hare no profit in them, and wc come tn coinpetion with cheap labor, (our own labor being tire dearest agricultural labor in the world.) and unless We change our po’icv, wc must yield to othei countries, only in so l'af as we Cultivate rich land or land made rich by high manuring. The longer we continue to cultivate cotton on poor land, the poorer we will become. I will hereafter endeavor to point out bur' mistakes and the remedy. W. H. YOUNG. Columbus, October 5, 1867. Judge Etvtkiiic Refusesto Grant a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Col. Samuel and V. A. Stewart Re leased on Bond. These gentlemen, after six weeks and three days’ confinement under guard in the barracks in Rome, were released last Saturday* they giving bonds of $5,000 each to the Governor to answer to any charges that may hereafter be brought against them by the military or civil authorities of the United States or of the State of Geor gia. It seems to Us'that the conditions of those bonds take a pretty wide range. We do not propose to comment upon those very strange proceedings, but will give the following facts as we received them from one of the attor neys employed by the defendants : No charges have been preferred against the Messrs. Stewarts by either the civil or military authorities. — They were arrested August 21st —dur- ing Col, Ritters absence —and on the 12th ot September there was no knowledge ol their arrest at Gen. Pope’s head quarters. On September 30th, Judge Erskine, after three days’ deliberation, refused grant a writ of habeas corpus. On kite sth ol October they were released >by order of Gen. Pope upon their /giving bonds as above named. We learn that Messrs. Stewarts re ceived uniform kindness from the offi cers and soldiers of the garrison here, and that their attorneys, Alexander, Wright & Rowell, and Wright Broyles, received only courteous treat ment from the officers here and at Atlanta.— Rome Courier. The South Twenty Years HencE. —The New York Tribune of a recent date says ; There , are 12,000,000 of people in the South, whereof at lea-t 8,000,000 are whites. There is ample room there for 50,000,000 more, and crowds are Hocking in—all of them whites. Eu rope is sending ns a full thousand a day, and the South proffers them cheap land, a genial climate, and employment for every sort of industrial capacity. Now that a good harvest has delivered the Soutli from famine, and her reconstruc tion is in rapid ptogress, there is no region on earth that should attract so many immigrants. Twenty years hence We will have 25,000,000 to 30.000,000 of people, whereof the blacks will probably num ber 5,000,000. Unless all the laws which have hitherto governed the in crease of population are subverted* the whites of the South must increase faster than the blacks by at least four to one. Not that the blacks will fail to increase also, but they are now so recruited by immigration, and cannot be. Africa sends forth no voluntary emigrants; the slave trade is on its last legs, and no negroes are coming to this country from any quarter. How. then* is it possible that the 4,000,000 ol blacks in this country should overbear the 8,000,000 of whites in the South, with the millions on the point of flocking thither ? Mr Greeley’s Advice to Young Men. Mr. Greeley’s autobiography has been written down to his apprentice* ship. lie says of the four years of his life during which he was learning to be a printer : ‘•I have never since found at once books and opportunity to enjoy them so ample as while there ; I do not think l ever bef*re or since read to so much profit. They say that appren ticeship is distasteful to, and out of fashion with the boys of our days : if so, I regret it for their sake. To the | youth who asks. ‘f[o\v shall I obtain 'an education ?’ I would answer 1 -Learn a goou trade of a good master.’ ! I hold firmly that most boys may tints better acquire the knowledge they kneed than by spending four years in college. ” Negro Dictation in Tennessee. — Governor Brownlow has issued a proc. lamation declaring that in all munici pal elections throughout ihe State, the election officers must be appointed by the Registration Commissioners, and that no person will be allowed to vote who is not qualified by the franchise law. Iu some towns nearly all the whites are disfranchised, so that the ne groes will have absolute control in the management of municipal affairs.— 'l’he proclamation occasions much ex citement and comment throughout the State. TO BE TESTIFY*. We are glad to leant that the efficacy of the President's amnesty proclama tion in removing the political disability of a citizefi is about to be tested in a Court of the United States. The Montgomery Mail of the 22d inst., says: “The Hon. S. Rice* of this ci ty. yesterday went before the Board of Registration, subscribed to the registra tion oath, and claimed the right to reg ister as a voter under the late amnesty proclamation of President Johnson, and was refused. Judge Rice will at once test the constitutionality of the law and the proclamation before the United States Court, This is the first case tinder the proclamation, and we are glad to know that the matter is to be tested and decided by the legal trib unals. The affidavit was made before W. R. Wyatt. United States Commis sioner-.*’ Judge Rice is the right kind ol a man to make the test. An eminent lawyer himself, he will make rto mis take in any process of the action, and will present the case in the best man ner. He is also a tnan of inflexible firmness, who will shrink from r,o dif ficulties, but press his suit to a conclu 1 * sion as rapidly as possible. JEFFERSON DAVIS’ TRIAL. The Washington Chronicle of the Ist says : The Government ha3 riot authorized the publication ot anj' intimation as to its Course in the trial of Jefferson Davis at the November term of the Circuit Court in Richmond ; consequently all tite statements that have heretofore been published are mere surmises. It is semrofficially staled, however that the Government will be obliged to ask for a further postponement of the trial* which request will assuredly be follow ed by a motion on the part of the coun cil for the defence to enter a nolle pro sequi. Their motion will be urged at length before Judge Underwood or Chtel Justice Chase : but it is not cer tain that the latter will be present at the trial. The idea that Attorney Gen eral Staubery has anything to do di rectly With the case is erroneous, as District Attorney Chandler, of Virgin ia, is alone responsible for the manner in which it is conducted, andMr.Stau berry has merely been called on to au thorize him to employ assistance in prosecuting the triai. Mr, Stanberry has, of course, been consulted regard ing the matter, and could, if he choose to do so, volunteer his services in the case ; but Mr. Chandler is at present the only officer who can be held re sponsible for the delay if it oc curs* Sentence of the Horne Murder ers.—The A triericus Republican of the 24th says: Ben, Edmund and Scott Horne wore sentenced this morning to he hung.

The Election in Mobile.—Yester day, savs the Register of the 4th, was the first day of the election ordered by Gen. Pope, and, although a large num ber of votes were polled* the number ol whites who voted is ludicrously small in comparison with the blacks. The county vote is taken at the court house, while the city vote is received at five different precluCts. The county vote polled was 750 blacks and 6 whites, and the city vote 2,395 blacks and 24 whites.

The latter as sumes charge of the registration lists, books and papers pertaining to the same, who will forward them to Dis trict headquarters. No umieccessary delay in the preparation of pay lists will be allowed. Chairman of the boards will be held responsible for tiie execu tion of the foregoing. Judge Abell, counsel for Henry Smith, accused of perjury, filed excep tions on Tuesday, and the case is being tried before Assistant Recorder Turner of the 2d District Court. Turner is a negro, lately elected by tite new Coun cil. Judge Abell, in the exceptions, sets forth that Turner being a negro un recognized by the Laws of Louisiana as a citizen, hence not legally an offi cer.

The application will be made by Northern bondholders.— Nashville Union <§- Dispatch. A tall, keen-eyed countryman walked into a Court room during the progress of a trial. Stepping up to one of the “ring,” he requested that the prisoners might be pointed out to him. The lawyer he accosted being somewhat of a wag, pointed to the jury. The stran ger surveyed them critically, when turning to his informer* he remarked-: •Well, they are a hard-looking set, ain’t they? 1 know by their looks they ought to go to State’s prison, every one of them.” Among the novelties exhibited at the Paris Exposition, is a praying machine brought by the Buddhists. The simple turning of a crank grinds out prayers as readily as a church organ furnishes mu sic for psalms. It would not be risking much to predict that soon some Yankee will have the machine patented for this country, anti it will be used in New England churches. If they can only make it mingle politics with prayer, this will certainly be its doom. Autumn Tints.

The queenly mapie blushes under the smile of the harvest season, and the royal oak, king of the forest, mossy with age and ivy-crowned, he too puts on the manv hued garb of the declining year. — Mother Earth is never so beautiful* never so spiritual as in Autumn. Tread ing towards her wintry tomb, the hectic of dissolut ion flushes her cheek with unwonted splendor, while she bears oil her brow and in her bosom, flower wreaths more rare than ever rustled from the lap of Summer.

The Natchitoches Times, speaking of the coolies lately imported from Cuba, says they aie a sorry substitute for our lormer negro slaves. At first their inefficiency was attributed to a change of climate, and the want of familiarity with cur agricultural instru ments and manner of cultivation.— The fact is become final and undenia ble that they are incapable of cultivat ing the soil profitably, and are not to be relied on in making a crop. They are lazy, mutinous, obstinate and thievish. Such is the verdict of the planters who have employed Chinese coolies in Louisiana.
