Tub Railroad to Chattahoochee.
A gentleman who has been over the
route between Quincy and Cliattahoo

the track. No cross-ties or iron have
«ibeen laid. The engineers were at
Chattahoochee a few days ago. The
distance between that point and Quincy
is twenty two miles.

Singular Fact. The reduction iu
the prices of Furniture in our city within
the past few months lias been very no
ticeable. Is this not due to the large
and complete assortment now offered
by O. 8. Harrison A Go? Their commo
dious wart-rooms occupy the entire
buiidiug over both of their stores.
Their stocks are unsurpassed in quantity
and quality, but they will uot last long if
the run upon them which lias existed for
the past ten days continues. However,
we understand that Messrs. Harrison &
Cos. intend, to make the furniture line a
permanent feature of their business and
will always keep full stocks of Eastern
as well as Western made goods. They
guarantee every sale, and all Furniture
to be shipped will be thoroughly pro
tected by skillful packers. Entrance j
to ware-rooms by stairway between
their two stores, where the public, espe
Rially the ladies, are requested to call
and examine their stocks.

Shameful. —Two statements come
from Washington which, under ordina
ry circumstances, would be incredible,
but which are so entirely in keeping
with the existing state of things there
that wo fear their truth must be taken
for granted. One is that the President j
will nominato no one for the Supreme
Bench who is not pledged to vote with j
the Judges who dissented from the legal i
tender decision; the other that the same
test will be applied in regard to the re
construction measures of Congress.
For fear that even the two new appoint
ees may not be sufficient to radicalize
the court, Mr. Wilson, of Ohio, has in
troduced a bill providing for an increase
of the number of judges, &c., whereup
on the Cincinnati Gazette (Radical) in
dulges in this piece irony at the expense
of its own party friends :
“Judges are wanted Immediately for
the Supremo Bench who will decide
that by the note tender act greenbacks
are lawful and honest payment for pri
vate debts contracted in specie before j
the passage of tho act; and that they j
are not lawful or honest payment for
public debts contracted since the pas
sage of the act, and specifically payable
in the legal tender notes ; and, further
more, that the government may change
private contracts to pay greenbacks to
contracts to pay specie. It is proposed
to reconstruct tho Supreme Court in
order to make it up of materials of such
flexible legal ideas. Obviously it will
be useless for auy to apply who think
that principles of law should stand in
the way of anybody’s crude notions of
monetary policy.’’
A New Opera.—Mobile has enjoyed
the sensation of anew opera sung* by j
native artists. The Register of that
city says of the performance :
“The Czar’s Revenge,” Col. Beltz
hoover’s new opera, was presented to
the Fedelia Society and a large and
lashionable audience of the invited
guests of the Society on Wednesday eve
ning. It was plain to see that the au
dience was unusually moved by interest
aud curiosity before the curtain rose.—
Indeed, we have never seen the tip
toe of expectation” more strongly illus
trated. When the overture began eve
ry ear was open to catch the first crash
of harmony and to measure the beauty
of every gem of melody. At its close
the friends and sympathizers breathed
freely, and the critical were obliged to
join with the whole bouse in a loud de
monstration of satisfaction and ap
proval.
Thk Californians and thk Cni
n hsb. —Mr. Johnson, the member of
I'nngress from California, who discuss
cd the Chinese question the other day
in the House, concluded his speech
with these significant words :
“Now mark me as I conclude. You
will never enfranchise the Chinaman,
no matter how many laws to that effect
you pass; neither will you degrade Cali
foruia and the Pacific coast by passing
a Chinese civil rights bill, authorizing
the maintenance of a fleet of ships and
army of men to set the Chinese above
and on a level with our people. 1
threaten nothing, but I know Califor
nia, and I know the army and uavy is
too small to protect the Chinese vote in
that State.
That doesn’t look much like accept
ing the fraudulent 15th Amendment as
a fixed fact. _
“Ttie Unkindest Cot of All.”—
Commenting upon the case of poor
Brother Whittemore, of the Northern
Methodist Church, who was kicked out
of Congress, Thursday, the Tribune
uses the words printed below. If any
pestilent “rebel” ever applied a more
stinging cataplasm of depreciation to
the backs of the C. B , s, we are not
aware of it.
We have not always spoken in rever
ence of the “carpet baggers;” we have,
indeed, hinted once or twice to the en
thusiastic partisans who complained
of our old-fashioned idea that the ma
jority must eventually rule, at the South
as well as elsewhere, that no party that
ever lived could undertake the respon
sibility for some ot them ; but, after all,
we had rated them something higher
than this.
We Second the Motion. —An ex
change says :
“There is a strong effort being made
to determine who is really the author of
‘Shoo Fly.’ We hope they’ll find him
out soon—and shoot him.”

A Caban Patriot in a Bad Way.
When a few days since the PreßS of
the country was burdened with a tele
graphic dispatch, manufactured and
manipulated either at Washington or
New York, setting forth the cruelties
and atrocities of the Spanish soldiery,
the suspicion flashed upon us that the
cause of the Cuban patriots was in a
very unpromising condition. We now
have reinforcement of the suspicion.
Quesada, the leader of the Cuban rebels,
has eluded the vigilence of the Spanish
gunboat fleet, and has escaped to the
friendly shores of the United States. It
is likely that Cespedes will follow, as
both of these leaders lately abdicated
command in favor of the American ad
venturer, General Thomas Jordan.
The Cuban revolt is evidently on its
last legs, and the movers and instiga
tors of it are seeking placea of safety.
Jordon’s vanity has kept him in com
mand of the banditti, and he is bouyed
up by the hope, no doubt, that owing
to the interference of the United States
Government, he will not be garoted
when captured. A distinguish Spanish
official assured us a short time since that
Jordan would be promptly attended to
if the Spanish authorities could lay
hands on him. Quesada has earned
popular contempt by fleeing from his
! people. Jordan, if executed, will be
followed by no great amount of sorrow
or sympathy; but the civilized world
will be again shocked if the Spanish
Government should visit with severe
and coudigu punishment, the followers
;of these adventurers. The United
States Government has given the gen
eral public, in its treatment of the South,
aboht as large a dose of cowardly cruel
ty as it can well stand.
A Convention or the People.
We have reeeived a circular from At
lanta, signed by a party of whom we
know nothing, urging upon us to en- '
dorse a call for a Convention of the
people of Georgia, to he held in Atianta i
sometime in March. It is only after a J
I considerable effort at self-restraint, that j
we have declined to make public the j
aforesaid circular, nud to comment at!
length upon the same. Suffice it now j
to say that we are utterly opposed to |
the foolish and impractical scheme, j
So long as Georgia is under military
rule, a convention of her people would
have about as much influence in staying
the march of fraud and oppression as
the resolves of a party of soldiers in a
I guard house, would have in setting
| aside tho findings and sentence of a
Military Commission.
Conventions are held to put political
parties and machinery in motion. When
a contest for offices is invited in Geor
gia, then the proper time will have ar
rived for party Conventions.
The Grf.at Chicken Contest.—
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel

At the close of the contest it was an

lina and Georgia had won by one fight,
the score standing as follows :
South Carolina and Georgia 11
Alabama and Tennessee 10
Colonel Bacon won the twenty five
hundred dollars’ stake on the main and
one hundred dollars on the single fight
—making, as a total, the snug little pile
of twenty six hundred dollars.

We judge by the tenor of an article
in the Cuthbert Appeal, of Thursday,
that the late counsel of Col. Bruton in
the Legislature,has given offense to,and
created dissatisfaction with, a large
number of stockholders in Randolph, to
the Bainbridge, Cuthbert and Columbus
Railroad, of a character that nothing
short of a change in the Presidency of
the company will abate.
The Peach Crop. —The Rome Cou
rier says it is thought by competent
judges that the peach crop in that sec
tion is fully half cut off by the late freak
of the weather. A trip to the country
since the late cold snap satisfies us that
over half the peach, and the entire
plum, croo is destroyed in the country
around Columbus.
The Atlanta Era says the travel over

Those Loll Baatiles.
We have now, in a work of Mr. Jno.
A. Marshall, entitled the “American
Bastile,” a history of those scoundrelly
incarcerations which will ever remain
as one of the blackest features of the late
war. It is the record of those days
when, for daring to entertain the spirit
of a freeman, the citizen was snapped
up by canting tyrants and thrust into a
military jail. We are glad to know
that such a work has been completed,
and, as we have assurance that it is ac
curate and comprehensive, bespeak for
it an extended reception and careful
reading. Few things do more to incul
cate correct notions of liberty than re
cital of unlawful imprisonment; and in
the interests of freedom, not less than
for its historical importance, the "Amur
can Bastile,” of which we shall hereaf
ter make a formal review, merits public
attention. Already, though now for the
first time finding mention in a metro
politan press, it has passed to its third
; edition, and finds most commendatory
notice from some of our distinguished
men.
Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour says :
It will do great good by calling pub
lic attention to the cowardly and brutal
outrages which were perpetrated during
the civil war, for personal or political
purpose. The fact that Buch things ;
were done under the cover of patriotism
or pretext of military necessity adds to
their wickedness. This book will be of
great value in the future, and it will ;
furnish facts which will enable histo- j
rians to write a truthful account of
the events of the late war, aud will also
throw light upon the spirit and purpose
of parties.
Ex-President Filmore says :
While due honors should he paid to ;
those statesmen and warriors who aided
in putting down the rebellion aud who j
obeyed the Constitution and laws, yet ■
for those who, in violation of all law,
and of the personal liberty of the citi
zen, arbitrarily and tyrannically thrust
men, without trial, into prisons, con
verting our forts into basiiles, and pro
during a "reign of terror,” no condern
nation can be too severe; and these acts
should he recorded as warnings to pos
terity, and Mr. Marshall is entitled to
great credit for having done it.
Judge Black says of Mr. Marshal’s
work that it is
A valuable contribution to the story
of these States, forming an enduring
record of deeds which, for the glory of j
our country, we would willingly have
forgotten, but which, for the warning j
of the human race, the pen of history j
must keep forever in the minds of all j
men.
Amendments ad Infinitum. -The
Metropolitan Record expresses some
doubt of the sufficiency of the Sixteenth '
Amendment to satisfy the suffrage seek- |
ing sex. A simple guarantee of the
ballot would not, it states, suffice, as it
would only open the, way to fresh and
frequently multiply needs. The Record |
therefore suggests tho proposal of a suf
ficient number of amendments at once
to meet all possible contingencies.
These are as follows :
I. An amendment establishing the
equality of the sexes in all things, the
designs of the Creator to the contrary j
notwithstanding.
11. An amendment prohibiting men
from aspiring to auy office to which j
women desire to he elected.
111. An amendment ordaining that i
women filling positions of public trust
shall not be expected to he burdened
with babies.
IV. An amendment requiring hus
bands of women who were mothers be
fore they became office holders to devote
themselves exclusively to the nursery
during the term for which their wives j
were elected or appointed.
V. An amendment guaranteeing to j
women the right of precedence at the I
polls and the privilege of changing ]
their votes every time they change their
minds.
VI. An amoulmont authorizing the
absolute divorce of husbands aud wives
whose political sentiments do not har
monize.
VII. An amendment providing for
everything not provided for in the fore
going. _
Debate Over Butler’s Disability Bill
—Religious KuthiislaMii or Mem
bers—Clerical Eloquence of“ Shoo,
Fly,” Cox,
While Butler’s Disability bill was up
in the House to-day there was a good j
deal of excitement exhibited in favor of
a general amnesty, and the spirit of for
giveness was abroad, especially on the
Democratic side of the House. Butler
himself was in a mellow mood and was
extremely liberal in allowing everybody
who wanted to speak an opportunity.
Among those who took advantage
of Butler’s kindness was Judge
Woodward, of Pennsylvania. He
was too sick, he said, to speak him
self, so he got S. S. Cox to speak lor
him. Cox appeared in anew role. He
held before him a copy of the I’salms,
aud he read from the 130th about the re
turn of the children of Israel from Ba
bylonian bondage, and how the people
rejoiced thereat. But the reading of the
Psalm which, by the way was executed
in a style of pulpit elocution which
would he no discredit to the most fash
ionable clergyman in New York, did
not fully satisfy Mr. Cox. He followed
it with reading from the famous com
mentary of Bishop Clark on the Psalms,
after the manner of an old-fashioned
preacher. The application of the sermon
was that the radical party should show a
generous spirit towards the late rebels
and grant them a general amnesty. Cox
takes well to the clerical profession,and
a very slight twist in his character
would have launched him into the pul- j
pit instead of into Congress. Macken- |
zie, of Virginia, followed Cox in the j
vein. He advised the Congressional
congregation to read the twelfth chapter
of St. Paul’s Epistle to the Romans.
Several members called out to know
what that chapter was about, hut Mac
kenzie was iu such a fervor of religious
enthusiasm andeloquence that he did not
seem to hear. It was very evident that
the House was fast approaching a frame
of mind most favorable for a revival.
Members began to brush up their recol
lections of Scripture, especially those
portions that relate to forgiveness and
revenge. Honest John Covode, getting
his hand in, tried to offset Cox’s quoto
tions from the psalms and Mackenzie’s
reference to the New Testament with
the story of King Benhaded, of Syria,
and King Ahab of Israel. Covode told
the story back end foremost, to the
amusement of the whole house. At one
time he had Benhadad slaughtering
Ahab and at another Ahab was getting
the best of Benhadad. The whole ser
mon was very much mixed, whether
from the excitement of the scene or from
the condition of Covode’s brain was
not ascertained.
Sempromius H. Boyd, a sickly look
; ing fellow from Missouri, followed Co
vode, with the evident intention of
throwing oil upon the troubled waters
which Covode stirred up. Nobody
could ascertain his text, but the sermon
was read from manuscript in the true
clerical style, and lasted just one min
ute. Mr. Boyd afterwards received the
congratulations of his friends. Mr.
Porter, of Virginia, who i3 better known
as Ben Butler’s “ Ball and Chain Mem
ber,” made his maiden speech to day
against the Disability bill. He inveigh
ed at great length against rebels gener
ally, and Virginia rebels in particular,
forgetting that Ben Butler had once
: condemned him to wear a ball and
chain on account of his disloyalty. The
result of the entire debate, Scriptural
dissertations, sermons on charity and
all, was that Butler’s bill went through.
Cox made a decidedly eloquent appeal
for general charity and received the
warm congratulations of many men on
both sides of the House. — TFas/t. Cor.,

February 19th 28 per cent. Should the receipts
equal 70,000 bales for the next live weeks and
5u,001 ior the following five, they will exceed
the same periods last year 76 and 67 per cent,
respectively, and show an average increase ot
03‘"3 per cent, without any further increase after
May Ist. This will make a crop of at least
some 2,800,000 or 2,900,000. We can hardly be
lieve in this excess.’ The stock in interior
towns continue supplied by the country. Tho
Southwest seems tilled with the staple, and
the yield of the Atlantic States has been un
derestimated. The prospect looks to lower
prices, and shows, until speculation has full
sway by reason of small stocks, little chances
of high figures. The decline of gold, which is
doubtless the cause of the declines in cotton at
New York for the last few days, is also on the
side of low prices. Planters cau judge for
themselves what is beat to do. The season has
taught them that it is best to raise their own
breadstuff*.
If the crop reaches 3,000,C00 bales there will
be 2,000,000 for export (the U. iS. retained last
year 950,000 ), which will allord to Great Brit
ain 1,490,000, and to other countries 510 000
against 990,000 and 470,000 respectively last
year, an Increase to Great Britain ot 500,000
bales, of which 210,000 ha ve already gone. Out
of the remaining 290,000 and the excess of stock
now there and afloat, England can increase
her consumption for ten months 5,000 bales
per week beyond the present rate, making it
larger than ever before, and still add 150,000
bales to her stock December 31st, without any
addition of supply beyond that of last year
from other producing countries. This, of
course, supposes tho crop of 1870, will be as
early as that oi 1869.
The number of negro voters in the sixteen
late slaveholding States is estimated at 700,(00,
in tho United States at 850,000. This gives an
idea of the productive force of the South.
Thousands of them aro in the towns and cities.
Four bales to the hand is a splendid average.
Fertilizers will be used to an unprecedented
extent. At this point last season 2,; 00 tons
were sold. Judging by present sales, that
amount will be doubled this sea>«»n.
At this point the receipts will reach some
where between 65,000 and To.OiO bales. We
think they may go a little over the first.named
figures. Our table show that there came alter
thig date in 1866, 8,171 bales ; i«i 1867,
8,704 bales ; 1868, 9,923; in 1869,4,944. Many
prominent cotton men think there is twice as
much cotton in the country now as there
was last year. During the week the weather
has been the coldest known this winter. We
have had a little sleet. The atmosphere is now
clear and warm. The bulk of tho stock is
owned by farmers, who finding it easj to ob
tain advances are indisposed to press cotton
on the market at present figures. A number
ot mixed packs have been found in lots hh*i
rejected. A great deal of choice cotton is still
hold back.
In our sales only those to shippers are in
cluded. Local operators have effected little
and several have sold out. In tho sales for
Europe are included 88 bales shipped on plan
ter’s account to Liverpool. It wtll be noticed
the shipments for home consumption have been
unusually largo. This was caused by tho
taking of cotton from tho city warehouses to
those of the factories. Their purchases have
not been very heavy.

General Remarks.—Trade, on account ol
disagreeable weather and bad roads, has been
moderate daring the week. Prices show a
slight inclination to advance, in sympathy
with the West. The demand has been princi
pally for moats, and fertilizers. Other de
partments of business seem to be inactive.
Considerable number of mules are disposed ot*
daily at auction and private sale. With few
exceptions tney come from Kentucky . Coun

o
The SOLUBLE PACIFIC! Cil’AXO, manufactured by tho Pacific Liu
auo Company, JNO. S. ItEESE & CO., Baltimore, General Agents,
ami sold by the undersigned for Ihe past four years, lmving given
such universal satisfaction, parties are endeavoring to introduce an article under
a somewhat similar name, and inducing planters to buy their compound ou the
assurance that it is the same as genuine Soluble Pacific Guano.
I take this means to correct such an impression by informing my friends and eus
touiers that no responsibility attaches to any Compound sold
under such assurance, hence tho necessity arises to caution Planters to
buy only from the authorized Agents of tho Pacific Guano Company.
The Oenuine Soluble Pacific (<uano is branded with the name oi Jno

SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO
jonu S. Reese & Vo., Baltimore, General Agents.
The Reputation of this Guano is so well established in the Southern States us not
to require especial commendation from me. It is well known that its use has realized
to the Planter a profit of from Three Hundred to Six Hundred per cent: Numerous
certificates could be published substantiating this fact.
Planters are cautioned to procure their supplies from theundersigned author
ized Agent for the Pacific tiuanu Company, as spurious articles,
bearing a somewhat similar name, are placed upon the markets, hence planters are
liable to be deceived.
“Pacific Guano Co’s Compound
Acid Phosphate of Lime,”
For Composting with Cotton Seed.
This article is manufactured at the Company’s newly erected works at Charles
ton, 8. C., under the especial superintendence of Dr. Bt. Julian Ravenel,
whose well-known reputation in the South affords a sufficient guarantee of its
purity and excellence.
It contains the same elements of fertility as the Soluble Pucilic <«Urtiio,
except that it is not supplied with ammonia. Cotton Seed affords the cheapest
possible source of ainmoitia, hence when composted in equal parts with this
article the equivalent of Soluble Pacific Guano in fertilizing properties is obtained
at a material saving of Cost to the Planter. It is prepared from the Bonth Caro
lina Phosphate now so well known and appreciated for their valuable fertilizing
properties. The compost can be easily made with but little trouble and labor,
which will be more than compensated hv Us economy. Particular printed direc
tions lor making tnu aoovc compost will be lurnished by mo on application.
Pacific Guano Co’s Dissolved Bones.
This article is manufactured atlhe Pacific Guano Company’s w'orks at Charles
ton, 8. C., under the direction of Dr. Bt. Julian liavenel and is warranted to
be made exclusively from msbtirut bone, hence contains all its animal
matter and ammonia, and is therefore far superior to Dissolved Bone made from
Burnt bone or Bone-black, as is commonly the case. It possesses all the elements of
fertility in their very best form and proportion, hence will not disappoint Plant
ers whether used alone or mixed with Guano.
Jno. S. Reese Sc Co’s Flour of Raw Bone.
This article is warranted pure unsteamed bone, reduced to the fineness of flour.
The best results have been obtained by using it in combination witlqSoluble Pa
cific Guano, Peruvian Guano, and with other fertilizers.
Marietta Mills Flour of Raw Bone.
WARRANTED GEN UINE.
The use of this well-known fertilizer has given full satisfaction and it may lie

Mapes’ Superphosphate of Lime.
The numerous Certificates showing the successful results from this fertilizer
duriug the past season warrant me in recommending the same to the planting
community.
