SUNDAY HOBIiBB, MARCH 6.
AGGREGATES OF ALABAMA COUNTIES.
—lt is asserted that the counties of Lee,
Russell, Chambers and Tallapoosa have
already sold cotton to the amount of
$4,000,000.
The New Hall.— The proposal to
build it on the Jake Uurrus corner,
60uth-west of Cook’s Hotel, ,has crea
ted considerable enthusiasm. Leading
monied men report they have been
promised over $15,000, and they can
carry equally as much of the original
subscription, making $30,000 in all.
The proposed plan embraces six stores,
the hall to be above them. If these
stores rent for only SSOO dollars each,
the total will be $3,000, which is 10 per
cent on the investment. So it will pay
well even if no revenue is derived from
the hall. We are strongly in favor of
anything that will add to the prosperity
of Columbus.
Improvements, &c.—The frames of
four of the forty new buildings to be
erected west of Brownville are up In
addition the Eagle and Phenix Com
pany intend erecting a church for the
use of all denominations ; also a school
house. When completed, this pleasant
little village will contain probably five
hundred industrious inhabitants, whose
entire earnings are spent among us.
Eagle No. 2 has now up 175 looms and
will increase that number to 350. The
Muscogee mill has moat of its machine
ry in position, and will soon be opera
ration. Their houses for opera ives are
being put in repair. It is rumored that 1
the Central railroad will remove all
their shops to this city. Our foundries,
machine, plow and oilier work shops
are driving a lively business. Build
ings are going up in the sutiurbs. An
other factory, to be located near the
Columbus (Clapp’s) factory, is talked
of, and, we hope will soon bo built. :
The Business of Columbus.—Al
ready there have been sold in Columbus
45,154 bales of cotton. It Las averaged
fully 23c., if not 240. Taking the low
est estimate, it shows that $125 per
hale, or $5,600,625 on the total, have
been distributed in an area whose radius
at the utmost is 100 miles. The princi
pal portion is embraced in a section of ,
25 miles radii. With the slock on hand i
and that to arrive, some 20,000 bales re- j
main to be sold. Merchants report
they have already dene three, if not
four, times as large business as they
have for any season since the war.
Tne “Rural Carolinian.” —The
March number of this sterling monthly
is, as usual, promptly before us, and
fully sustains its reputation. It has
several particularly noteworthy papers.
“The Preparation of Land for Cotton,"
signed “Low Middling,” which we be
lieve is from the pen of General Johnson
Ilagood, of Barnwell, contains some
most timely suggestions, backed up by
the necessary facts and figures. “The
Premium Cotton Crop,” and “A Meth
od of Planting and Cultivating Cotton,”
are also worthy of attention in the same
connection, and are timely and to the
point. Some hints on the “Cultivation
of the Castor Bean and Bene” for oil,
from the pen of Gen. E. P. Alexander,
suggest another means of diversyfying
our industry. “Poultry Farming for
the South,” a beautifully illustrated ar
tide on the best breeds of fowls, will be
interesting and profitable to all who are
fond of eggs and chickens. Articles on
Sisal Hemp and the cultivation of the
Banana, commend themselvos particu
larly to Florida readers. The Editor’s
“Suggestive Facts" bUouIO set our peo
ple to thinking. We hope thay will
heed the warning the article embodies
—don’t neglect everything else to plant
cotton. We are glad to see that the
publishers have been fortunate enough
to secure contributions from that able
architect Alex. Y. Lee, of Columbia,
one of whose excellent designs appears
in the prepent number. Charleston, 8.
C., Walker, Evans & Cogswell and D.
Wyatt Aiken. Two dollars a year.
In making new subscriptions to the
Sun the Rural Carolinian is furnished
with the Weekly Sun—price for the two,
three dollars.
Du. Bernhardt. —We are pained to
announce that this distinguished son of
science is about to leave our city. lie
has been instrumental in doing so much
good to those whose sight is affected,
that we would really like to have him
hero as a permanent fixture. We have
!>(■( n present on several occasions at his
otllcu at the Perry House, and heard the
sincere outpouringsof thanks from those
who have been benefited by his skill,
and we thought surely here was some
thing worthy of a great effort to attain
—the skill winch could give such relief
as these patients of the Doctor’s had
experienced.
The Doctor, at the desire of a number
of citizens of this city, and surrounding
country has consented to postpone his
departure for a few days, but assures us
that be will in a short time leave. He
desires us, in this connection, to return
his sincere thanks to the medical tac
ulty and clergy of Columbus who have
so liberally endorsed him, and also to
the public for their very liberal patron

Connecticut Radicals Alarmed.—
The New Haven Register is credibly
informed that the leading Republicans '
of Connecticut have requested that the
proclamation announcing the ratifies
tion of the fifteenth amendment might
be delayed till so late a day that the ne
groes of the State cannot be made citi
zens in time to vote in the ensuing elec
tion,on the ground that their admission
to the ballot-box would tend to the de
feat of the Republican party. We trust
their fears will be realized.
Georgian Removed and a Carpet
bagger Promoted.— A letter from Car
tersville to the Atlanta Constitution
says “I see an old Georgian, Mr. Miller,
who has been running as freight con
ductor on the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, was discharged a few days
vgo, and a “red hot” carpet bagger put
in (ai ß place; and not* only this case,
but mi Q y other native Georgians, whose
interests are in the State, and men
whose honesty and integrity as gentle
men has never been doubted, were re
cently removed, and carpet-baggers,
who have no interest whatever in the
State, placed In their places.”
Columbus Industrial Association.
T-ie Directors met at 12 M. yesterday
in Capt. J. M. Bivins’ office; ten mem
bers present. W.. L. Salisbury, Vice
President, in the chair, and John King
acting Secretary.
The committee on premiums made a
partial report 'of such premiums as is
necessary to make public immediately.
They included only those on field crops-
The list includes prizes (amount not
mentioned) on the best and second best
ten, five, and one acre of cotton and of
corn; first and second prizes on one
and two acres of sweet potatoes; on
five and one acre of oats ; one acre of
clover, and one and two acres of pea
vine hay, and one acre of natural grass
hay; ’prizes on the best five and.one
bale of upland cotton, and one bale long
staple cotton; for the best acre of wheat;
for twelve stalks of sugar cane grown
on not less than half an acre; prizes for
the first and second best five acre and
one acre rye.
The above is only a partial list. A
full one will be completed and publish
ed officially next week. The committee
were instructed to fill up their report, as
soon as possible.
The committee on plans and specifi
cations for building asked for and were
granted further time.
On motion of B. F. Coleman, the sal
ary of the Secretary was fixed at SSOO
per annum. This officer wil be elected
at next meeting.
The motion of John Mcllhenny that
the Secretary take such steps as may be
necessary to have the personal liability
clause in the charter of the Association,
was adopted.
The Association adjourned to meet
on Saturday, March 12lh, at 12 M.
A Fair will certainly be given next

Bethel Agricultural Society.—
Some eleven members met in the Co
lumbus Board of Trade rooms at 11 j a.
m. yesterday.
In the absence of the President, J. K.
Bauks, Maj. W. G. Clemons was called
to the chair on motion of C. A. Redd.
Dr. G. B. Heard, Secretary, was at
his post.
The motion oi' W. A. Cobb, that the
time for the presentation of the report
of Gen. N. D. Guerry, on the use of
fertilizers, be postponed until Thurs
day, the 17th March, at 7 p. m., and
that all persons be invited to attend,
was adopted.
On motion of Dr. G. B. Heard, it was
resolved, that the city papers be re
quested to call the attention of members
to vlia fact that the Society will be re
organized on the first Tuesday in a prii,
and that all connected with it be urged
to attend said meeting. A President
and Secretary are to be elected, and
perhaps the name of the Society will be
changed.
The reporter has conversed with a
majority of the members of the Society.
They wish to keep up the agricultural
society, but unite cordially and warmly
with all the purposes and ends of the
Columbus Industrial Association.
It is thought that the defeat of the bi 1
to charter the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad through Kentucky, in the
Kentucky Senate last Tuesday, is net
the end of the measure, but that a bill
somewhat different in some of its
features, will be passed by the House
this session, and should it not meet the
sanction of the present Senate, the ques
tion will become a prominent feature in
the next canvass. The friends of the
measure, though somewhat disappoint
ed.are not disheartened. The defeat in
tne Benate ib me irulis or me Heavy
Louisville influence brought to bear
on that body. This is apparent to the
people of the interior of the State,
and especially to those of the East
ern aud Southeastern portions.—
The next election in that State,
should the Louisville people persist in
their opposition to this great enterprise,
will teach them that the people of the
rural districts have an interest in the
matter, and will demonstrate the fact
by electing Senators and Representatives
who feel that other interests than those
of Louisville alone are to be fostered.
An enterprise so important to Eastern
and Southeast Kentucky, and to the
Atlantic States, cannot be permanently
defeated.

The Georgia Bill Before the House—But
ler Favor* Extension of Official Terms
Fransworth Wants the “ Muddle ”
Cleared up Immediately—Bullock and
Butler Consulting.
Special to the Telegraph and Messenger.
Washington, March 4.—The Geor
gia bill was up in the House to day.
Butler spoke in the interest of Bullock.
He considered the present State Gov
ernment provisional, and held that offi
cial terms should commence with the
admission of the State. He said that by
a singular oversight the Constitution of
Georgia contained a provision enabling
the Legislature to hold a perpetual lease
of powef. To remedy this, he introduc
ed an amendment, not by the direction
of the Reconstruction Committee, but
with the concurrence of some members
of it, that no election take place until
1872, but that thereafter no Legislature
should have power to perpetuate itselt.
In answer to a question of Frans
worth, concerning the sitting of mem
bers, Butler said be would leave the
House to determine—he would be will
ieg to seat no member till anew elec
tion was had. He said the question
was tor the House, and did not think
the Senate would interfere.
Fransworth said : “We have got into
a muddle with reconstruction legisla
tion, and the sooner we finish it, the
better.” He declared the State had
complied with all requirements of re
construction laws,and opposed on strong
grounds, the proposed extension of offi
cial terms.
To-morrow will be devoted exclusive
ly to debate on the Georgia question.
Butler will move the previous ques
tion on Monday, at the Morning hour.
Bullock, Clift and Prince were on the
floor of the House. Bullock and But
ler retired to the cloak room when the
latter concluded his speech.
Who now doubts the intellectual
ability of the colored race ? On the
West Texas border the red colored
man, or Indian, sends the black colored
man, or negro, in among the white
trash to spy out the land. This having
been done by the black colored man,
the red colored man comes pleasantly
jn with his knife and lifts scalps.

Facts for the Ladies. —N. D.
Stoops deposed : I have visited all the
principal sewing-machine manufacto
ries, and have had the best facilities for
finding out not only what was best, but
why it was best. The Wheeler & Wil
son is the simplest in parts, the most
direct, quiet, and rapid in action of any
two-thread machine. Other machines
cannot keep up with it. I now sell all
kinds, and sell ten of these to one of
any other. Others come back for ex
change, with many murmurs and com
pliants ; these, never. Once sold, they
are gone, and as an article of merchan
dise they are always salable.
The Cincinnati Commercial (Radical)
speaking of the negro nominee for the
next Presidency, says:
It is easier to make and canonize a
saint, than it will be to convince the
people of the United States that it would
be advantageous to make Benj. Butler,
of Massachusetts, President. Asa dis
turbing element in Congress, Ben. iB
well enough. His audacity, his shrewd
ness, hiß sarcasm, show to advantage
in a body not remarkably brilliant or
intellectual. But Ben. has made some
serious blunders in his military and
civil career, and they will bo remember
;ed against him. His last blunder is a
manifestation of affected contempt for
newspapers. We speak of it as an af
fectation, because there is not a public
man in the country who is more sensi
tive to their criticism, or more vulnera
ble. During the war, Butler aired him
self in the newspapers as often as possi
ble, kept a short-hand reporter to take
note of his sayings and doings, and give
them to the army correspondents for
publication.
I have used Dr. Bimmons’ Liver Reg- '
ulator in my family for Dyspepsia and
Bick Headache, and regard it as an in
valuable remedy in these attacks. It
has not failed to give relief in any
instance.

We announced some time ago that
Col. Clarence Prentice was making a
collection of the poems of his father,
the late George D. Prentice. The plan
of the proposed publication is to include
a life of Mr. Prentice, composed of con
tributions from his most intimate friends,
as well as a compilation of his poems.
Mr. John G. Whittier, Mr. Rufus Pren
tice, Dr. T. 8. Bell, Mr. Fortunatus
Cosby, Mr. Paul R. Shipman, and Mr.
Henry Watterson are to contribute pa
pers upon different biographical, litera
ry, political and professional points in
the career of the dead journalist. The
volume will be issued as early as possi
ble, and can hardly fail to be a valuable
addition to the history of the times in
which Mr. Prentice lived. —Courier

yesterday morning was quoted at 113% and
closed last night at 113%. Money is rather
tight at present. There is a good deal in the
country and private parties in the city keep
large amounts for interest.
Cotton.—Should the receipts at the U. S.
ports be no heavier (the prospect is they will
be greater) than they were last year .after this
date (550,000), they will amount to 2,750,000
bales, borne estimate the crop at over three
millions, so strong are the Indications In that
direction. Thus tar the aggregate is nearly
500,000 bales in excess of last year to thesame
time. The course of receipts Is closely watch
ed, for on it and gold, the tendency of which is
downward, will depend prices. An advance
may come when receipts begin to fall oil,
which now Is indicated, or when speculation
gets control by reason of small stocks. The
rndia crop is estimated largely over last year,
and Europe may obtain an excess of 150,000
bales from that quarter. The stocks in the
interior towns have increased over last year,
and show light receipts and accumulations of
stock during the week. The heavy sales In
New York indicate a want of confidence, and
show that the shorts have been forced to sell
to cover contracts. The indications are not
favorable to advances, but planters can best
judge for themselves. Last Saturday the
excess over last year In visible supply, was
207,708 bales.
in our market this week only a few buyers
have been operating, and they mostly on
European account. Local buyers have mostly
sold out, and are purchasing sparingly, the
majority of their sales being of street cotton.
Planters who own the great oulk of the stock
manifest little disposition to press the mai
ket. They find it easy to obtain advances.
The majority are in good condition to hold,
as they have considerable money in reserve.
During the week more disposition to sell has
been manifested than hitherto. If present
prices continue, or if they go lower, it will
have the tendency to cause more grain to be
planted, and as a’ consequence to make far
mers thoroughly independent. Spring opens
with fine weather, and farm work Is vigorously
progressing. Improved agricultural imple.
inents are employed, and large quantities of
fertilizers will be used. Rain commenced
yesterday morning.
At this point there were received after this
date, in 1866, 7,647 bales; in 1867, 4,950; in 1868,
6,938; in 1839,3,888. If there is twice as much
cotton In the country now as there was last
year, which iB greatly doubted, the receipts ol
Columbus will amount to about 68,000 bales.

Oenbral Remarks.—Trade has been light
during the week. The tendency of prices, In
sympathy with gold, is downward. The de
mand has been moderate for provisions. Pow
der, shot, meats and whisky have slightly
deollned on wholesale prices. The factories
find it difficult to keep stocks, so great is the
demand. Hides are dull. There areyet some
20,000 bales of cotton, which, at 200, represent
*2,000,000 to be sold in this market, a great
proportion of which has small advances.
About 350 tons of fertilizers have been sold
during the week.

tory test of the spectacles prooured lrom you,

SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
o
The SOLUBLE PACIFIC «CAXO, manufactured by the Pacific «M
--auo Company, JVO. S. REESE A CO., Baltimore, General Agent*,
anti sold by the undersigned (or the past lour years, having given
such universal satisfaction, parties are endeavoring to introduce an article under
a somewhat similar name, and inducing planters to buy their compound on the
assurance that it is the same as genuine Soluble Pacific Guano.
I take this means to correct such an impression by informing tuy friend* and cu*
tomers that no responsibility attaches to any Compound sold
under such assurance, henco the necessity arises to caution Planter* to
buy only from the authorized Agents of the Pacific Guano Company.
The Genuine Soluble Pacific Guano is branded with the name of Juo
S. Ileese & Cos., general Agents Baltimore, and is put up in Hacks
warranted to contain 400 pounds each.

SOLUBLE PACIFIC 6UANO
John S. Reese & Cos., Baltimore, General Agents.
The Reputation of this Guano is so well established in the Southern States as 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 Uuauo Company, as spurious artulss,
bearing a somewhat similar name, are placed upon the markets, henee 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 work* at Charie*
ton 8. C., under the especial superintendence of Dr. Bt. Julian Ravsnel,
whose well-known reputation in the South affordb a sufficient guarantee of it*
purity and excellence. „ „ , „
It contains the same elements of fertility as the Soluble Pacific Guano,
except that it is not supplied with ammonia. Cotton Seed afl'ords the cheapeal
possible source of ammonia, hence when composted in equal parts with thl*
article the equivalent of Soluble Pacific Guano in fertilizing properties is obtainod
at a material saving of Cost to the Planter. It is prepared from tho Bouth Caro
lina Phosphate now so well known and appreciated lor their valuable fertilizing
properties. The compost can be easily made with but little trouble and labor,
which will be more than compensated by its economy. Particular printed direc
tions for making tho above compost will be furnished by me on application.
Pacific Guano Go’s Dissolved Bones.
This article is manufactured at the Pacific Guano Company’s workß at Charles
ton, 8. C., under the direction of Dr. St. Julian Itavenel and is warranted to
bo made exclusively from unburst bone, hence contains all its aninwif
matter and ammonia, and is therefore far superior to Dissolved Bone madefrotn
Burnt bone or Bone black, as is commonly the case. It possesses all the elements of
fertility in their very best form aud proportion, henco will not disappoint Plant
ers whether used alone or mixed with Guano.
Jno. S. Reese & Co’s Flour of Raw Bone.
This article is warranted pure unsteamed bone, reduced to the fineness of flour.
Tho best results have beon obtained by using it in combination with 4 8oluble Pa
